Cell Phone Pistols

A man in Naples, Italy was literally able to shoot his mouth off with this cell phone look-alike that was recently confiscated.

The Italian police seized the weapon in a raid on a Mafia gang, and the “phone” that even featured a fake display turned out to be a pistol with four .22 caliber bullets.

The transformer became a gun by sliding the keypad, making the stubby antenna the barrel. It is fired by touching a key on the keypad.

A police spokesman said: 'This is the first time such a weapon has been seized and shows the sophistication that the crime syndicates are turning to. 'Tests are being carried out to see if it has been used recently or has been involved in any shooting attacks.' The raid in a Naples suburb was part of an operation against the Gionta crime family of the Camorra, the port city's version of the Mafia.
