why is it that in movies and books of the good pulp variety, the Sicilian mobsters always machine gun snitches and the competition when their preferred method was straight razor or pocket knife?
to scary for the average person shaving to see/read that his brand new straight razor was the brand used to kill 3 guys over the weekend who owed money to the mob?

It's like when you buy a new car -- suddenly everyone on the road seems to have the same vehicle, only in different colours.
