民国前期宁波盗匪肆行很大一部分原因是其手中掌握当时较为先进的武器。其数量之高,程度之先进是当时官方武装力量都鞭长莫及的。考察其武器来源,主要有抢劫警察保卫团枪械,兵以武器售与匪,还有士兵携带枪械加入盗匪队伍。盗匪掌握大量先进武器,不仅为其抢劫掳掠提供便利,也使官方剿捕盗匪带来巨大难度,从侧面反映出官府对民间武力并未实行有效管理和控制。 In the early Republic of China, banditry in Ningbo was largely due to its possession of the more advanced weapons of its time. The number of high, the degree of advanced at that time the official armed forces are beyond the reach. Investigate the source of their weapons, mainly robbery police guard group firearms, soldier arms sold to bandits, as well as soldiers armed with bandits to join the team. The mastery of a large number of advanced weapons by banditry not only facilitated their looting and plundering, but also caused great difficulty for officials in suppressing the banditry. It reflected, from the side, that the government did not exercise effective management and control over the civilian forces.
