There is no humor in this. This is a Dangerous Weapon Disguised as a Cell 
Phone.

 At first sight it looks like a regular cell phone — same size, same shape, 
same overall appearance. 
           But beneath the digital face lies a .22-caliber pistol — a phone 
gun 
      capable of firing four rounds in quick succession with a touch of the 
      otherwise standard keypad.
           European law enforcement officials — stunned by the discovery of 
      these deadly decoys — say phone guns are changing the rules of 
engagement 
      in Europe.
           “We find it very, very alarming,” says Wolfgang Dicke of the 
German 
      Police union. “It means police will have to draw their weapons whenever 
a 
      person being checked reaches for their mobile phone.”
