Caption preserved: Two men were caught on video confronting staff at Burger Smash in Vancouver, B.C., during a dispute reportedly involving a missing cheeseburger.

During the heated exchange, the men can be heard repeatedly saying “we got guns” and “we gangster” while arguing with employees.

The video does not show a firearm, and it is unclear whether either man was actually armed.

## What is verified in this pass
- The Instagram page/account caption claims two men confronted staff at Burger Smash in Vancouver during a missing-cheeseburger dispute.
- The caption itself says the video does not show a firearm and that it is unclear whether either man was actually armed.
- The saved video audio includes repeated gun-threat language; because the transcript is machine-generated and the audio is noisy, quote it carefully.
- The contact sheet/thumbnail show a fast-casual restaurant interior and a news overlay with the same core claim.
- NewsForBC found official VPD reporting/contact pages and Criminal Code threat/firearm sections, but did not locate a matching VPD media release or court/charge record in this quick pass.

## Evidence limits
- No firearm is clearly visible in the sampled frames.
- No suspect names should be published from the Reel or comments.
- No arrest, charge, police file number or court appearance was verified from official records in this pass.
- The restaurant identity/location should be framed as the Reel/caption's claim unless confirmed by the business/police record.
- Comment-thread insults, race language, or deportation calls are not evidence.
