When Clifford initially pursues the murderer with the intent of killing him, the only weapon he has is a lock needle. Since [SPOILERS] Clifford eventually catches up with the murderer and finishes him off with a gun, why did he decide on such a strange and limiting weapon to begin with? Even a knife would have been more reliable and effective.
shareI assume he wanted to be able to claim self defence or something so he wanted to use an improvised weapon rather than a clearly offensive one. a plan which might have had a better chance if he hadn't told a cop about it beforehand (old friend or not)
still, when the husband pulls out a shotgun I couldn't help laughing at the idea that an ex-cop turned private investigator in pursuit of a killer didn't seem to have a gun (of course it later turned out he did) and yet this guy had a bloody shotgun!

The long gun the husband had appeared to be a pump action .22cal. The kind used in carnival shooting galleries. The magazine tube was to small for shotgun shells.
