They appear to be normal mobile phones but can fire four bullets in quick succession. Officers have been advised to be ready to draw their weapons when stopping a suspect carrying a mobile phone. Birgit Heib, of the German Federal Criminal Investigation Agency said: "You cannot tell these mobile phones are weapons. It is only when you have one in your hand that you realise that they are heavier."

The gun's bullets are fired by pressing the phone buttons from five to eight. Konrad Freiburg, head of Germany's police union, said: "This completely new kind of weapon presents a monstrous danger to every police officer. It can only mean for my colleagues that they have to draw their weapons whenever a person being checked pulls out their mobile phone." Airports are increasing their security measures. Peter Dittel, from the border police at Frankfurt airport, said: "Mobiles being carried in hand luggage will now have to be checked more carefully." © Copyright of Telegraph Group Limited 2000. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
