Companion Flashlight Firearm

The Ares Defense System Company sold Mag Lights that were

actually covert .410 shotguns for several years. Although they

have ceased production on the flashlights, many remain in

circulation.

are needed to see this picture.





Cell Phone Gun



At first sight this looks like a regular cell phone, same

size, shape, and overall appearance, but beneath the

digital face lies a .22 caliber pistol.

The phone gun is capable of firing 4 rounds in quick

succession with a touch of the otherwise standard

keypad.

The guns are loaded by twisting the phone in half. The

rounds fit into the top of the phone under the readout

screen and the lower half, under the keyboard, holds

the firing pins. The bullets fire through the antenna by

pressing the keypad from numbers 5 to 8. The phone

guns are being manufactured in Croatia and Yugoslavia

and are sophisticated machines constructed to fit inside

gutted cell phones. The gun phones are significantly

heavier then real cell phones and do not operate or

have lighted screens. The gun parts will also show up in

an X-ray.

Throwing Knife Sheath







Also available online are the knives and sheath shown

here. Amazingly, both the knives and the sheath are

available for $3.99! The RCMP in Alberta, Canada has

reported ongoing problems with hundreds of similar sheaths

being sold to both juveniles and adults at sporting goods

stores for about the same price as they are offered on the

Internet. The Velcro sleeve attaches to either the wrist or

leg and holds one or more knives that are then easily

concealed under clothing.



The weapon is called the “Companion” and is an operable

flashlight capable of firing a .410 shotgun round. To operate it the

safety pin needs to be removed. It can then be fired by a spring

loading firing pin with the bullet exiting through the end cap.

The Maglights were also produced in a “mini-mag” size that came

in an assortment of colors and shot a .380 round.

Survival Gun

In December of 2005 the RCMP

in British Columbia located what

appeared to be a plastic rifle

stock in a backpack during a vehicle

stop. Investigation found

the plastic cap to the rifle butt

popped off to show all other

working parts for the firearm

were stored inside.

This is an AR7 Explorer by Charter

Arms. It is a .22 caliber rifle

and fires .22 short rounds. Further

research has found police

departments along the New England coast

have run into this weapon

many times over the last few years, often

being carried on fishing and

lobster boats by mariners. The weapon is

waterproof and floats.
