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

[stevethrower]

Senior police officers have been warned to look out for a new knife which can inject a ball of compressed gas into its victim that instantly freezes internal organs.

The 'wasp knife', which can deliver a ball of compressed gas capable of killing its victim at the press of a button, may be heading for Britain, the Metropolitan Police fear.

A needle in the tip of the blade shoots out the frozen ball of gas which instantly balloons to the size of a basketball, freezing organs.
The Metropolitan Police have told colleagues in the West Midlands to be on the lookout for the blade, which is designed to kill sharks and bears.

Police fear that the 'wasp knife' - designed to kill bears and sharks - may soon hit the streets of Britain

Police are concerned that the £200 weapon could fall into the wrong hands.

The American-made weapon is sold to hunters and divers and injects the frozen gas when the small handle-mounted trigger is pressed.

The manufacturer describes it as perfect for downed pilots, soldiers and security guards and boasts that it will "drop many of the world's largest land predators".

It can snap-freeze all tissue and organs in the area surrounding the blast.

A source close to West Midlands Police said: "The Met is obviously concerned about this and that is why they have circulated the information.

"This knife will almost certainly kill and the Met must have intelligence that they are in circulation.

"I think it is only a matter of time before one of these is used because the internet makes it much easier to find and buy weapons like this."

Labour MP for Perry Barr in Birmingham, Khalid Mahmood, said: "Weapons like this are absolutely disgraceful and there is no reason at all why people should be walking around the streets with them.

"There should be high-profile operations and high-profile arrests against anybody caught with them. The way to tackle the wider issue of knife crime is with effective community policing, which the West Midlands force does very well.

"The Met could pick up on the lessons from West Midlands Police in its excellent community work in places like Handsworth, Aston and Lozells."

The Wasp injection website states: "The effects of the compressed gas not only cause overinflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea."

I'm a bit worried that Khalid Mahmood will get one of these onto an airplane.

Wouldn't it be easier to just take her on a cruise and get her a nice rock coat?

Does it make me less of a 'bagger if I pussifiedly say I'm one of those homos that's really in love with his wife?

Natural Ds dude (and not the fat girl kind, the awesome should have been a porn star kind), they do strange things to a man.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Well, at least the story didn't try and show off by overexplaining why it was called "wasp". I hate that shit.

[WoodenPlank]

Next thing you know, Britain will be banning all knives. Hell they got rid of almost all the guns, and we all know that it did wonders for them!
I guess that explains why theyre issuing body armor, handguns and submachine guns to cops now...to combat all the criminals that dont have guns. Right?

It only goes to show that if you take away one weapon, people who want to hurt you will just find something else. And this sounds like it'll do a LOT more damage than a bullet. Get a bullet in the arm, you get to a hospital as fast as you can. Get stabbed in the arm with this - goodbye arm.

Yeah, but good luck getting anyone with the ability to change it to listen to that. Its too damn logical to be true!

This will be REAL easy to do a scary news tease about. I'm sure that "concerned public servants" are already figuring out a way to make a campaign issue out of this.

I'm just pissed I didn't think of this before I saw the story. It would be incredible easy to fashion something like this out of a freon can and anything sharp and tubular.

It was invented for sharks and bears. They probably already had something like a spear and a freon can, then miniaturized it.

It's like a James Bond weapon, isn't it?

Done.

I know of a certain Shock Jock who would have gladly used it on a French guy.

[Plunkies]

How the fuck is this a danger to anyone? Who the fuck is going to pay 400 dollars for a fancy knife that makes a loud noise, when you can pay 20 bucks for one and just stab a person twice. Who the fuck buys wasp knives? It would be the most easily traceable murder weapon ever. Bunch of fear mongering assholes...

Oh, and I totally want one.

[Hudson]

After watching the video. I have 2 questions:
1) Why is the guy wearing a wetsuit?
2) Why is there a giant model of the Deathstar in the background?

[THE FEZ MAN]

huh, i must have one, but wouldn't it be better if they showed how well it worked on water melon thieves?

[WoodenPlank]

If you had read the website (or the original article), it was designed first for divers to kill an attacking shark, and was also meant for hikers, backpackers, etc to defend themselves against things like bears. Since, yanno, you cant carry a firearm in a park.

I think that's the underlying intent of the video!

Which is probably why theyre so fuckin expensive.

Watch for this knife on a future episode of a Law & Order series.

that is so stupid and not needed while scuba diving. First the thing will be on your ankle/leg, and if a shark was to ever attack you, you wouldn't have time to unlatch the thing, and stab it, while pressing the button. Also sharks under water are a lot more scarred of humans then humans should be of them. Unless it's a great white shark, and a few other exceptions, but most sharks are too scared to get near scuba divers because of the bubbles. Proffesional Photographers use re breathers now cause they couldn't get close enough to sharks. Thats about all i got on this subject, knife looks cool, just no point in it if you scuba dive, most knifes are there in case you get caught on a fishing line or something, and aren't even sharp at the tip.

[CrazyMrPoopSex]

I don't get why is shaped like a big hunting knife, if the death blow is the injection why not just make it a thin sharp rod so it peirces easier.

because people won't buy it off the interweb if it looks likes lame.

[weakside]

I have to say after watching the video the knife seems to sound more effective than it is. He just shoved it in a couple of watermelons and it took a couple of seconds to activate the freeze spray. I guessing most humans are not going to just sit there politely after being stuck with “super knife”.

You didn’t see the end of the video where he jumped in the ocean and used it on a shark and then got out and stabbed George Lucas for making such crappy prequels?

There's no delay between the button and the blast. He's just bracing himself for the goopy watermelon explosion.

Ah, that could be true. Good point.
