Hitting the 5, 6, 7 and 8 buttons on the gunphone fires four .22 caliber rounds in quick succession.

At first sight it looks like a regular cell phone — same size, same shape, same overall appearance.

But beneath the digital face lies a .22-caliber pistol, a phone gun capable of firing four rounds in quick succession with a touch of the otherwise standard keypad.

The US Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are aware of the device and have instructed baggage screeners to be on the lookout for suspicious mobile phones. This is especially after 9/11.

Re: 4079 and 4079 posts

Thank you, that is what I was talking about, it was good of Fair Opinion to find the real information and post the picture.

I know that it has not been that long ago, that there was a report of a Policeman shooting someone who "only had his cellphone", I had forgotten about this type gun.

My friend had his wife send it to her friends, as at the time it had been used to hijack cars, something along the line of "my phone battery is dead, can you use your phone for help ing me get my car towed, or can you call 9-11 for me?", this gets you to open the window of your car.

The pen gun has been around for a lot of years, possibly before WW2.

Today, I think if someone pointed a cell phone, I would think they intended to set off a bomb.

Laughing, as I don't have one of those new fangled gadgets..

Thank you Fair Opinion, as I could not have posted the photo, if I had found it.
