Mafia Raid Uncovers Cell Phone Gun

A four round .22 caliber pistol was concealed within a somewhat dated looking cell phone, complete with dummy LCD screen. The keypad on the hand-set-handgun rotates out to expose the chamber and pressing buttons 5 though 8 fire. The barrel is disguised as a stubby antenna.
Even considering it's rather clunky appearance, the gun is a pretty ingenious device. It'd easily go unnoticed, unless you had a fetish for retro cell phones. [From: Daily Mail]

Mafia? Hello Mr. Terrence the Reporter?....it may help to do your research before writing articles in the future. I recall reading another article about these some time ago. So I performed a 10 second search on Yahoo, and found the original story on these cell phone guns(found in Europe) was written December 6, 2000. Also included was a picture of the cell phone gun which is idenical to the one in your article. Sorry, but it appears your article is ONLY 8 YEARS LATE. Oh by the way it is believed to be first discovered by the Dutch. Your welcome--

Well if you live in Russia or N Korea or China, that is a high tech looking cell phone. They use the ones with the hand cranks and the reciever the size of a WW2 radio still. So it woul dbe high tech, LOL.

Yes --
There have long been videos of this very device on YouTube for years.... and while your at it look for the videos about the Knife-Gun (a Gun that looks like a Knife) and the Flashlight Sub-machine gun.. Why yes - that's a flashlight that turns into a fully automatic weapon... Yep this just shows how sad our law-enforcement, Journalism, and the real security of citizens really is. "Ivory Tower People" everywhere that are sadly un-aware of how our world actually works.
