Cellphone Gun Delivers Hot, Sneaky Death, Can't Send Txtmsgs

gizmodo.com — Italian police officers recently seized a tiny gun that's disguised as a cellphone. It can hold four bullets and is powerful enough to kill somebody. It looks pretty good, phone-wise, if pretty outdated. It's stuff like this that makes me having to pour my water out at airport security seem even more idiotic.

  • clark24, on 11/25/2008, -0/+15Wow. Are you simply fast enough to dodge bullets, or is your skull impenetrable by a lowly .22 round? Just wondering.
  • newl, on 11/25/2008, -0/+11"Italian police officers recently seized a tiny gun that's disguised as a cellphone. It can hold four bullets and is powerful enough to kill somebody."

    Wow! Imagine that. A GUN that is powerful enough to KILL someone. Whodathunk?
  • unknamed, on 11/25/2008, -0/+10Obviously that "gun" was made for point blank range use... and at point blank range a .22 WILL kill you if the shot is placed correctly... which, since this is an assassin's tool, I would assume the shot would be placed correctly.
  • allaboutdatiki, on 11/24/2008, -0/+10happiness, is a warm cell phone, bang bang, shoot shoot ...
  • choopie911, on 11/25/2008, -3/+11Holy crap old. I remember seeing that exact phone gun ages ago.
  • VacantThoughts, on 11/25/2008, -0/+7You would most definitely be "caught dead" if shot by it, and that's all that matters to the gunman shooting you.

    Video of it in action, minus the videovat and plus the youtube
  • LisiBee, on 11/24/2008, -0/+7LMAO! I wonder where the trigger is?

    It actually looks a bit like a toy cell phone, which is scary in and of itself.
  • dasunst3r, on 11/25/2008, -0/+7Dial M for Murder.
  • hollywoodphony, on 11/25/2008, -1/+6It looks pretty good? Only because people would probably just assume it has candy in it.
  • xkorbin, on 11/25/2008, -0/+5When the time comes, he won't have to.
  • CK20XX, on 11/25/2008, -0/+5This phone has three ringer options: custom ringtone, vibrate, and three-round burst.
  • zad1, on 11/25/2008, -0/+5That Italian officer's costume reminds of SS officers from World War II movies.

  • jonboykayaks, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4I first saw stuff about this "phone" in the late 90's.I will say that the article is new but the gun phone is not.
  • ziromix, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4this isn't pimp my cell-phone-gun, putting a 32 chamber in there would be like lowering a segway and giving it a supercharger and intercooler
