Cyanide-Shooting Guns Found in Baghdad
.c The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Soldiers searching homes in a Baath Party enclave on Sunday turned up weapons straight out of James Bond movies - among them suitcases that concealed submachine guns and air pistols that fired cyanide pellets.
The men of A Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, found 21 briefcases specially designed to hold Heckler and Koch MP-5K 9 mm submachine guns. The guns could be fired by pulling a trigger on the handle of the case. There were also several silencers for 9 mm pistols and a gold-plated MP-5 fitted with a silencer in a presentation case.
Next to the brief cases were two smaller cases holding air pistols. There were four magazines holding pellets for the pistols; they were labeled stinger, noise, tear gas and cyanide.
Outside the house in central Baghdad was a Soviet-era Volga sedan in which the troops found two 4,400-pound safes - empty.

Are these technically WMD? I hadn't thought about how a chemical weapon need not, necessarily, be a WMD.

How do you fit 8,800 pounds of safes into a Volga sedan?
To: kattracks
The MP-5k briefcases are standard items in the H&K catalog.
The cyanide pistols were used by the Soviet Block for years.
This "James Bond" equipment is 25 years out of date.

One of the briefcase guns:
One of them in action (don't try shooting it while it hangs at your side, or you will probably perforate your calf as it recoils backward):

Feinstein could take lessons from this guy. Notice that he is showing proper trigger control by NOT having his finger on it.
