NEW KNIFE - GUN IN BRITAIN SCARES AUTHORITIES
POLICE fear a terrifying new weapon is on the streets of Britain a combined knife AND gun. The GRAD .22 has a toughened 6in blade and the firing mechanism of a pistol hidden in its folding handle. FIVE bullets can be fired in quick succession from the concealed barrel. It is similar to weapons used by Russian and Chinese special forces for close-quarters fighting. Two of the knife-guns have already been found on passengers at Gatwick and Stansted airports. The American-made weapon is on sale in Europe and could easily be smuggled into Britain by ferry passengers too. A police source said: We are extremely worried. We have not found any of these weapons on the mainland but the fact two have been seized at airports indicates they are here already. Terry Gander, editor of Janes Infantry Weapons magazine, said: The thought of a gangster being in possession of one of these things is very disturbing. The new menace is revealed as gun crime reaches an all-time high on the streets of Britain. In the US, where the knife-gun costs £650, firearms sellers boast: It is a state of the art combination weapon. It has the utility of a fighting knife with the covert back-up of a five-shot revolver. It comes in a variety of styles of blades and handles. Made of the highest grade stainless steel, it is originally designed for Russian troops and fires .22 bullets as fast as you can squeeze the trigger. Price $750.00
