![](http://www.waspknife.com/images/cutaway.gif) ``` [IMG]http://www.waspknife.com/images/dive_wet.gif[/IMG] As divers, we all know what the effects of compressed gas are underwater. Our training teaches us that our lungs would burst from over-inflation if we held our breath and rose to the surface. This principle is key to the effectiveness of the [WASP Injection System](http://www.waspknife.com/about.php). This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world's largest land predators. The effects of the compressed gas not only cause over-inflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea. When used underwater, the injected gas carries the predator to the surface BEFORE blood is released into the water. Thus giving the diver added protection by diverting other potential predators to the surface. ``` ---

[B][This one’s pretty good too (except the NFA paperwork)](http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2006/12/22caliber_knife_gun_slices_shoots.html)[/B] [B] [/B] [B][.22-caliber knife gun slices, shoots](http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2006/12/22caliber_knife_gun_slices_shoots.html)[/B] ``` Posted on Dec 5, 06 08:25 PM PDT [RIGHT] [/RIGHT] [IMG]http://www.ubergizmo.com/photos/2006/12/grad-knife-gun.jpg[/IMG] ``` With muggings happening on a daily basis all over the neighborhood, make sure you do your part by picking up this G.R.A.D. .22-caliber gun which actually comes under the guise of a knife. The designer was probably inspired by the good old bayonet that soldiers relied on to perform their finishing move in case the bullet-riddled enemy has yet to give up the ghost. Each G.R.A.D. costs $699 and can hold up to 5 bullets at a time. Do you reckon you need a firearms license before making a purchase? How would you classifiy the G.R.A.D. - is it a knife with an attached gun or vice versa? ---

You can’t carry sheath knives on ships. Read the seaman’s articles. ---

Not sure they enforece that I carried a sheath knife all the time deap sea but made sure it was a round tip and not over three and half inch blade I think that is the regs but not sure but I do know that the capt can ask you not to carry even folding knives if he wants would love to read seamans articles where did you see this I think though if they will not let sailors in certain areas start carring guns then bring back the cutless and repell boarders ---

I like the concept, but never take a \ to a gun fight.
