The last days of the 20th century saw a crackdown on Manchester's warring gangs to rid the city of its 'Gunchester' reputation. The results, however have been mixed. Shooters tells the story of the new gangbangers who emerged in the new century, with names like the Moss Side Bloodz, the Fallowfield Mad Dogs and the Old Trafford Cripz. It gives a unique inside account of the war between the Pitt Bull and Longsight Crews; tells how two underworld armourers supplied gangs with reactivated weapons and recounts the sordid end of Dessie Noonan amongst other tales.
