Drunk tries to sell zip guns to passing motorists

Hugh West was arrested after he tried to sell a zip gun to a passing motorist in the UK. The Daily Mail reports (emphasis mine ...

West, 41, showed the flabbergasted driver the weapon and even demonstrated how it could be put together and be fired.

'The driver said "I'm alright, I don't need a gun" at which point the defendant put the gun back in his pocket and walked off.'

The stupidity of criminals never ceases to amaze me!

Many thanks to David for the link.

Double barrel phone zip gun

I was emailed this. It apparently was made in New Zealand but I do not have any other information. It uses a conventional zip gun design: a bolt in a tube with a threaded barrel.

What makes it interesting is that it looks like both barrels can be fired at once by pressing on or pulling down the rod (on the left side of the photo).
