Q Never Thought Of This!

Great Britain police are concerned about a new weapon they expect to soon see on the streets. The 'wasp knife' has a needle in the tip attached to a trigger on the handle. When the trigger is pulled a ball of compressed gas is shot into the victim where it expands and freezes the internal organs killing the them. The U. S. made weapon was meant to defend against shark and bear attacks.

A pocket knife that doesn't lock into place is about useless! I won't carry one.

I'm picturing that scene in demolition man where snipes gets frozen to the floor and rambo pops his head off and it shatters... so this knife will do the same to internal organs? that scares the hell out of me.
