An internal memo issued by the New York Police Department gives warning for officers to look for a .22 caliber gun disguised as a cell phone because a few caches of these weapons have been found overseas. This gun, which authorities believed is made in Europe, can be activated by pressing the buttons "5," "6," "7" or "8". A schematic diagram and photographs are helping police identify these relatively new weapons which are heavier than other phones. Federal authorities have known of these tricky weapons for seven years but none have yet been found in the United States. Joseph Green of ATFE reminds authorities to look for weapons disguised as cell phones, beepers, or pens. http://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_140013946.html
Seen those about a year ago. Didn't know what to make of them (i.e. if they were real or not). Seems they are real. Scary
Mobile phones manufacturers are always looking for new gadgets to boost sales, starts with bluetooth, then digital cameras, COMING SOON: BUILT IN GUN!
I could see its potential use if you needed it for self defence from a potential attacker although the battery would probably go flat just as you were about to fire...
Aye, I can see it all now.... "Don't come near me, this phone is a gun, I'll shoot you.... Oh, hang on, I can't get a signal here. Can we move into the street, these buildings play havoc with reception."
Vodafone's new pricing... Text: 10p 1 minute call: 25p Bullet in the chav the other side of the playground you're chatting with: priceless
Been around years, along with the old MP5K in the briefcase trick. On the video: Interviewer - "Whos making these guns" The bloke - "Criminals" So absolutely none of this decieveing gadgetry was devised by the governement? My rear end was it all made by criminals.
don't see the point in them really especially in the states where you can own guns anyway. They will still set off metal detectors and you could probably only hit some one with it from a very close range
Yep it was, awesome wasn't it As for the phone that doubles as a gun, I much prefer the wooden gun out of In The Line Of Fire
Not trying to sound like a smartarse, but a .22 is not exactly something that would kill a rhino from a mile away. Couple that with the fact that it would probably be near impossible to aim well with the phone, I think that the only way you can injure someone is if you are standing next to him. (I could be saying a load of bull so I am waiting for Feek to post!)
