Self-defence with a credit card-sized shotgun? $100 US
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Don't leave home without it.
In a new twist on the idea of concealed weapons, a local gun maker and gun shop are debuting a new type of firearm: one that could almost fit in your wallet. It's a two-shot weapon made from a piece of metal the height and width of a standard credit card, and about a centimetre thick. Each barrel fires seven standard steel BBs. It will retail for $100 US.

"This I can see being the ultimate self-defence weapon," said Mark Koscielski, owner of Koscielski's Guns and Ammo, the only gun shop in Minneapolis.

Koscielski and Patrick Teel, who makes the guns in suburban Blaine at his company AFT Inc., gave The Associated Press a preview on Tuesday, a day before they planned to officially unveil the device.
