Amused at the German Police quoted on Snopes saying they'd have to go for their guns if someone reached for their phone. Well they'd look pretty stupid if their subject pulled out a pistol instead :D

Actually if you type cell phone guns into google, you get lots of different models.

1219761 2011-07-29 02:14:00 use an SLR, you could fit a few .308's in it, heck you could even put a shotgun in. I think the point is the ammount of charge in a .22 is small enough not to be detected. Anything larger could be detected easily (perhaps) The Error Guy (14052)

.22 is dangerous at short range like inside an aircraft. High calibre weapons ie .308-in (7.62mm) would cause too much damage to the aircraft.
