G R A D .22-Caliber Knife Gun

Posted December 05, 2006 1:33 PM

From Newlaunches.com:

Remember the Cell phone gun (video no longer available; could be previously found at techeblog.com)? Here is another weapon on the same lines. But it really does not make sense why would you want to disguise a knife as a gun?

well, if you go to a rumble and someone else pulls a knife on you, then you have an escalation option already in hand. I'd still prefer the bike gun from a few weeks back...

You would put at ease someone with a forcefield effective against high speed bullets who would actually be vulnerable to a knife attack.

You've got it backwards. It's a gun disguised as a knife. Perfect for your next rumble.

Think of it as a very small gun with a bayonet! This has already been done in the black powder days.

Being a switchblade (as well as a pistol) I guess these would be illegal in the States..

These types of things are why firearms get a bad wrap in many areas.

I dissagree! This pistol is very well constructed and an inventive firearm. I'd love to own one of these things, but just don't feel like hasseling with my CLEO for a signoff on one, simply because it's classified as an AOW.
