Cell Phone Guns

[RogerB]

I got this from a work related email regarding airport security. Cell guns apparently haven't show up in the US yet, but the "powers that be" seem to think its only a matter of time.

It's firing a 22 caliber if I recall correctly. This is why alot of security check points will ask you to operate your cell phone to make sure its not been gutted and modified.

Thought my associates here would find this interesting. Hopefully I'm not posting something thats been posted before I joined.

If they dont operate better than our Verizon phones, I really dont see the dangers.....

J/K, my wife saw that on the news too. That would solve the "pocket gun" issue....

I remember the pen guns when I worked at Bradis, I meant to purchase one and never did.

Kinda hard to figure out how the heck the mechanism works from the video, especially over a dial-up connection. Anybody got the skinny?

All I can guess is some sort of moving breech/striker arrangement and 4 separate fixed barrel/chamber units. Seems like it'd have to be fairly obvious to even a casual observer that something wasn't entirely Kosher, unless there's something masking the 4 muzzle openings.

Looks like a perfectly good waste of a tax stamp to me

That sums it up pretty well.

That video has been floating around for almost 8 years so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'd guess they've either been here for a while or they haven't been able to get them into the country.

Beware of people that pick up the phone and say "Its for you"

That's great!

It is kinda scary that "airport security" is just now picking up on this. I saved that video like 6 years ago. I can almost bet there's a LOT better version out there now.

3 years ago when I worked for DHS these things were pretty much just a rumor.

I mean, you can make ANYTHING a gun... look at the mob in the 40's... they were using fountain pens as .22's...

Cellphone guns?

Hahaha brilliant.

That would be hard to talk on at the range.

Someone is aiming their cell phone gun at something, they pass under a bridge and the gun won't fire....

I'd be more worried about the israeli covert knives
