Pen guns seized in Germany

Police in Germany have found more than 1,200 James Bond-style shooting pens. A weapons fanatic had been trying to sell the 16-centimetre pen-guns for £100 each.

It is illegal to make or own such weapons in Germany. The man is thought to have made the pen-guns himself. Police say he evaded being found out by ordering the parts he needed from a number of different suppliers.

Nothing a competent machinist couldn't turn out from scratch, however. From Ananova.
