TINY KILLER: Customs vows to fight mini gun
A SWISS company has created a 5.5cm gun that is capable of killing. Customs vow to stop it from entering Australia.
A TERRIFYING weapon small enough to hide in a wallet but powerful enough to kill someone has been developed in Switzerland.
The SwissMiniGun is 5.5cm long and can fire 2.34 calibre bullets at 434km/h, and is scarily described as 'fun-sized' on the company's website.
Customs and Border Protection say despite the gun's size, they will be working with domestic and international authorities to try and stop it being imported illegally into Australia.
A spokesperson said people could be penalised heavily if they try and import the weapon.
"If you are caught attempting to import these items without a permit you could face fines of up to $275,000 and/or 10 years imprisonment."
