Gun phone
Terrorists of the world have found a new way to threaten the security forces of the world - the gun phone. The deadly device, believed to have originated somewhere in former Yugoslavia, looks at first like a rather basic, but very normal, mobile phone. The only clue is that it's considerably heavier than you might expect, and it won't light up when switched on. But once primed, pressing buttons 5, 6, 7 and 8 will shoot off four .22 calibre bullets in quick succession through the 'antenna'. The bullets are housed under the screen, while the bottom half of the phone hosts the firing pins.
Shipments of the weapon have already been intercepted both in Holland and Slovenia, airports have been alerted and plans are being implemented to x-ray mobile phones which passengers are intending to carry onto planes. The gun phone is coming, let's hope it's not soon.
