This image, which has been circulated on the Internet for several years, shows the muzzleloader again making the rounds in LE e-mail distributions. |
Police1 has received (from several reliable sources) a wave of e-mail notification about this concealable, credit card-sized shotgun. This thing has made the rounds on the Internet since it was first posted to a technology “gadget” Web site several years ago. Regardless of its apparent vintage, this is a good reminder that such items are sill available to the bad guys, so be on the look out.
From the e-mail we’ve received, we pass along the following pieces of information:
• Two-shot weapon machined from a block of metal the height and width of a standard credit card, and about a half-inch thick
• Each barrel fires seven standard steel BBs
• Weapon apparently sells at retail stores for about $100
Stay safe.
