Britain on alert for deadly new knife with exploding tip that freezes victims' organs

are people forgetting it needs to be reloaded? yeah, walk around with only 3 reloaders and come against a group, who would win. guns will still be the order of the day. thats going to be used like an assassins weapon.. the military people are smiling.

Go figure us americans make weapons like this. We love our toys don't we?

you call that a knife?

If this is the future, then I want to travel back in time..

I never heard of this. Dam what's next ???

HOLY FUCK BALLS! O_O

sounds like something James Bond might think twice about using...

This is why I

Oh dang! Now something else to be terrified about!

lets focus on how too save each other instead of kill each other

The video with the watermelons is wicked.

I too would be fearful of this knife if I didn't have the ability to arm myself.

This is why I support the 2nd amendment.

I smell a screenplay.

The controversy aside, this is the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Next the Brits will be outlawing knives on the whole.

Then they'll be experiencing spoon violence....

Watch out!

not cool... i hope the illegal aliens in LA don't get a hold of this shiit.. isn't a watermelon the thickness of a human head? that youtube video is scary....

And so final fantasy weapons are introduced to real life, "Gunblade" anyone?

if i were being attacked by a bear or a shark i would hope i have one

It may be true that these knives are potentially available but this is the Daily Mail - an execrable low brow daily - sewing fear to sell sheets.

How creepy!

Is the convince of divers and hunters worth risking innocent lives?

I think not.

Just when I thought gun control was at its worse.

OMG -- for the most wicked.

Sue Charlton: Mick, give him your wallet.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: What for?
Sue Charlton: He's got a knife.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: [chuckling] That's not a knife.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: [Dundee draws Wasp knife]
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: *That's* a knife.

America (and perhaps the rest of the world, but not as crazy) is all about weapons, action, death, enemies, me vs. you, competition, harm, kill, injure, power. All about money and greed, never mind that animals and humans are gonna suffer because the killer tools we make.

It's all bullshit. I am pro weapon and self defense, but I'm more for pro rational, peace, and cooperation, that's what makes our species advanced and prosper.

yeah thats just frightening

wicked . i will have one .

bloody hell that's scary.. and it's so cheap too.

I agree with the MP, there is no reason anyone should be walking around with this. It's nice to see a politician with some common sense.

Wow! Sounds like something you'd see in a William Gibson novel!

alien technology...hehe

I may have to concede that one point to the gun fanatics, apparently people do kill people.

Somewhere in Hollywood, a screenwriter has just figured out what unique weapon his villain will be using.

In the mid '60s our family had a wine cork extractor. This was a four inch hollow needle that was attached to a gas cartridge. You pushed the needle through the cork, touched the button and POP! The cork came out instantly.

Now that cork extractor was in common use in many households (maybe can still find them at your kitchen store). It also was totally deadly, easier to hide, and judging from the watermelon video, went in much easier.

I don't know if those things were declared illegal, but they were far less expensive. Nobody even thought twice about using it or even letting the kids play with it. "Just don't waste the gas, Tommy, it's expensive!"

Those that want it are going to get it.

That way the public is aware that such a thing exists.

And to show that there is something worse than guns.

If you are in fear of a deadly weapon falling into the wrong hands then why the hell would you announce its existence? the media is hilarious sometimes. I believe it is wise that law enforcers are aware of this wasp knife but when you put it in the news, now anybody is aware of it and now has access to purchase it.

Its like" Hey everybody in the world! there's this new knife out thats very dangerous and its called the wasp knife and we dont want it in the wrong hands. go to waspknife.com for more info."

holy shit! how do i get one?

Be careful of the day the government has access to all the latest technology of weapons and the mass population of law abiding citizens is unable to obtain any real form of defense.

i'd fight a shark if i had one of those

but a bear???

That sounds like the most painful experience ever!!! A Basketball?!!!

What's next? A nuclear fork?

This is just terrible, what is their problem? Why can they not just be normal!

Who on earth was twisted and demented enough to create a weapon like this?

I know that I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but I think that the Wasp is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Not only will it slice said bread, but it can also freeze it at the same time! Now that's what I call "progress"!

Just a second - 'Police are concerned that the knife could fall in to the wrong hands'.

Surely this thing is deadly whoever happens to be holding it! Why on earth is it even legal to build something like this?

This knife should be treated as a gun and require a permit. Or taken on the market(imo).

Why do we take such fascination in the myriad way there are to kill another human being?

See, if the british would just let up on their gun laws British citizens could just get shot like everyone else and not have a ball of compressed air freezing their organs.

This just goes to show that no matter how many weapons a government tries to ban people will just figure out new and innovative ways of killing each other.

barf, It's hard to imagine

I doubt your average hoodlum will carry one of these considering that its pretty damn expensive in the first place, and you need to reload every time you use the gas, which further adds to the expense.

scary.... very scary....

This is a pretty useful weapon for the right purpouse. It is meant for Divers, basically, if you catch a big fish you can then use the knife and press the button to send the fish above and not get more attraction from sharks or other predators.

This would be easily, easily fixable, by removing Privacy from it's users and having them register with a serial number and owner. People would not try to loose them nor sell them without reporting it.

This is the stuff of nightmares. I cannot believe these kinds of weapons can just be bought over the counter as long as you have a hunting or diving license.

Just who invents these things? And are the police so unsure they can stop this being a weapon of choice on the streets? Lord help us...

This story makes me nauseaus.

Welcome to the future.
