Look the Killer Smartphone: Gun with a Look of a Smartphone

The designer of an iPhone-shaped gun branded a 'disaster waiting to happen' by Senator Schumer has defended his disguised weapon. At first glance the Ideal Conceal, which is expected to go on sale in mid-2016 for $395, looks just like a smartphone. But with one click, the device unfolds to become a deadly weapon.

The gun has already gained its fair share of critics including U.S. Sen Charles Schumer who has called on the Justice Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to investigate. But creator Kirk Kjellberg insists that his product is simply aimed at helping responsible gun owners to carry their weapons more freely.

'There are some people that would take serious issue in the workplace or somewhere else to see a gun on you, and I think it gives people the opportunity to avoid that conversation,' Kjellberg told CBS This Morning. He added that he 'encouraged' Sen Schumer's investigation as he claimed it would show 'Ideal Conceal will fall firmly in line with ATF guidelines and is therefore legal.' The .380-caliber pistol holds just two bullets, but fires with 'high velocity' and 'increased accuracy,' the site says. It also has a built-in laser sight for more precise aiming. Kjellberg says he has already been contacted by more than 2,500 interested buyers.
