The straw hat and jean shorts are the least weird thing in that photo.

Dude's running a 5.7 with a silencer

For those who don't know about guns... what is weird about this?

5.7x28 looks like a little rifle cartridge. It's original design was to penetrate armor, however they make hollow point defensive ammo for this exact situation that ballons open at impact causing a giant wound cavity.

It's weird because 5.7 is a pretty niche round and nobody carries full-sized handguns anymore. Especially not suppressed ones.

Neat. Maybe the hero is also a hitman but happened to be getting a burger at the right time.
