Then this is the knife to bring.

http://wcbstv.com/local/local_story_022171646.html

It's a knife that can fire five rounds of an unspecified type of bullet. I'm guessing it's .22LR. Ok, .22 isn't the greatest round for dropping someone, but wouldn't this be a cool little novelty?

what are these blackberries people keep mentioning? assuming someone hasn't disguised a gun as a small, purple, knobbly berry anyway.

Yep. Anybody can make a gun. One could go into Home Depot and legally purchase everything one needs to make lots and lots of guns. I think people greatly underestimate the simplicity of the firearm.

But I'll stick to my Poo Cannon, thanks. :)

Awesome, a mini-sword-gun.

This is the Blackberry: It is part PDA and part cellphone. And all evil. Even without a built-in gun. :p

It's a combination cell phone/email device basically. You can surf the web, send emails with attatchments and make phone calls on them.

ah i see. yeh that is evil, i don't like the way it is looking at me, like it's sizing me up or something. those cartoon icons can't hide the menace behind that LCD oculus. and those teeth! dear gods, that thing should have a muzzle!

I'm just waiting for the cell phone/PDA/gun.

Then no one will stand a chance. :p

/me yays his cellphone/PDA/computer/DVD player/MP3 player/videogame controller/gun/knife/laser/taser/maser/phaser/nuke/keychain that he carries in his pocket. Ph43r!

Two questions - how much and where can I get one?

Looks like you can get one in newark.

Am I the only one highly amused by this quote?
What's happening with drug traffickers and other gang-bangers on the streets is they're taking innocuous objects and making firearms with them.

They have ballistic knives that fire their blades

And with pagers that have stun guns or cap stun in them, A blackberry with either or a gun wouldnt surprise me.

That particular knife/gun-the handle is pretty thick- it could have .38s in it.

Although a .17 or .22 with hollow points will do a number on you.

Yep, it's a .22 GRAD RS1. Knife/pistol combos have been around for several; hundred years, and in much larger calibers.

Some examples:

(I'll limit that to those two. There are many others at that site.)

Some recent examples include:

The .22 Merriman .22 Rim Fire Knife Pistol

The alarmist headline "A Weapon That Even Scares Cops" is more worrysome to me than the fact that someone has updated this very old idea.

Heck, one can buy the ingredients for some much nastier weapons at just about any supermarket. (And I'll stop there to avoid breakingt the TOS.)

Edit: Oh, and I'll just add that, if I understand the capacity of the blackberry and the new iPhones, my cell-phone already does more.

Great... can this be far behind then?

That doesn't look like it'd work at all.......

Pretty soon the world will become one giant Leslie Nielsen movie.

Gun+sword=win
Gun+knife=slightly less win

THAT is basic maths.

That doesn't look like it'd work at all.......

Except for the chain thing (I'm not sure what that's supposed to be) it's looks similar to a lot of the historical designs.

Seeing as it looks like historical designs, yes, it can be far behind - by a hundred years or more. ;)

(Dangit. I saw a nifty one that looked very close to that one, without the chain, a while back and now I can't seem to dig it up! It was a very large Bowie knife/revolver combo.)

Except for the chain thing (I'm not sure what that's supposed to be) it's looks similar to a lot of the historical designs.

It's the fact that the barrel of the revolver seems to point into the blade, which is kinda silly cos bullets can't pass through presumably solid steel, and hollowing out the blade so they could is, again, silly.

Indeed, who could believe that some fiend would try to weaponize the otherwise harmless combat knives that we let our children play with?

That'd be 1337.

I don't think it works by firing bullets, I think it works by means of creating vibrations, thus making the sword deadlier.

A vibrating sword with a revolver shaped handle? Sounds like a sex toy for someone with a weapon fetish.

He's got a point.

How you doin'?;)

To me it looks like someone saw a rifle and bayonett and said to themselves, "I'd like something like that, only absolutely useless."

The police already draw down on and shoot anyone withing about 20 feet with a knife, now maybe they'll extend that to 30 feet.

I'd say this "so dangerous weapon" is less dangerous than a normal pistol since it can't be aimed and probably fires .22lr.

The alarmist headline "A Weapon That Even Scares Cops" is more worrysome to me than the fact that someone has updated this very old idea.

An alarmist headline from the media!? Say it isn't so!

I'm shocked. Surprised even. I might even go so far as to say it's unprecedented.

Hmm... It's kind of hard to tell, due to the colors in the pic. But it looks to me like it goes along side the blade. But maybe that's because that's how similar designs work and that knowledge coloring my perceptions.

It's what the "OMG!!!! Guns are scary!!!" message carried in it that bothers me.

you mean like the Pirate Movie (http://imdb.com/title/tt0084504/)

wonders how many people saw the movie and remembers the scene appropriate for this thread...

Who'd thunk that a Kristy McNichol movie would be so prophetic...

Hmmm... no where near as scary to me as my Grandfather getting a sword kane for Christmas. We have now had ten fingers and one arm cut off because of him.

What legal purpose could owning one of those possibly serve that offsets the fact that they’re pretty much designed with criminals in mind?

I dunno, I can see that being used for self/home defense.

handgun's value goes down as you run out of bullets.

but a knife that can shoot bullets... :)

I think the odds of a civilian minding his own business needing to fire more than five bullets are too low to justify such an insidious weapon being allowed to be produced.
If you're really worried about it, buy an automatic.
Does there need to be one?
Not necessarily. That’s just how I look at the world, and I think it's an important question to ask even if you don't think there needs to be such a reason.
Sometimes what is right isn't always the right thing to do.

Oh you didn't. (It would be funnier if you could hear me say it)

Was that supposed to be "Oh no you didn't?" a la the day time talk shows or "You started it."? Either way, mea culpa. ;)

Fair enough. Aside from self-defense, there's collecting and simply fun. Personally, I wouldn't carry one for defense because I don't carry for a few different reasons (number one being that it's extremely illegal where I live), but I think it'd be a fun little novelty. Also, historically, most knife pistols were used in hunting.

If you're really worried about it, buy an automatic. or this thing in which it has a utility value other than a weapon.

Interesting stuff.. I never knew they existed. Seems like a rare weapon for someone to have.. like a collectors type thing more so than something everyday criminals would try to attain .. since the knife in itself would still be illegal and it wouldn't make it through metal detectors and such, plus shoots only one round (from what I've seen in this thread) they'll probably still prefer the regular hot guns. I don't think the coppers need to get their drawers in a bunch over it.

So the blueberry they were speaking of is a phone weapon? I was actually thinking of a really big berry type thing .. but I guess that would fit more along the lines of a grenade hehe.

It was. :(

Oh well, everyone makes mistakes. I guess I'll go read I am facing foreclosure. That always cheers me up when I feel dumb.

And I was a little embarrassed that my dyslexia got the better of me. That's all.

I can just hear the Excuses now...

"But officer, I didn't know the Knife was loaded... Honest!"

"So, let me get this straight... you were cleaning your knife and it went off?!?"

The particular one in question hold five rounds, but yes, most designs are one or two shot affairs. Otherwise, exactly so. :D

Giggle. A great big blue berry grenade? I WANT ONE!

Anyhow, glad we got that cleared up. :) (Heh - maybe I should have left in the typo I just made.)

I don't personally like guns, but that rifle-axe thing was just really too cool. Makes me think of something Bruce Campbell would use.

It's a matchlock ignition, .38 cal, and the barrel is made of 1018,1084,15n20,203e cannister damascus and twisted.
