German police raid finds James Bond-style shooting pens

Police in Germany have found more than 1,200 James Bond-style shooting pens.

A weapons fanatic had been trying to sell the 16-centimetre pen-guns for £100 each.

A police spokesman told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung this was the largest find of its kind in German history.

It is illegal to make or own such weapons in Germany. The man is thought to have made the pen-guns himself in a Q-Branch style workshop.

Police say he evaded being found out by ordering the parts he needed from a number of different suppliers. According to police sources, the pen-guns used 22 calibre-bullets - enough to kill somebody.
