James Bond-style weapons found on North Korean assassin
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/8821428/James-Bond-style-weapons-found-on-North-Korean-assassin.html

Weapons straight out of a James Bond film have been put on display in Seoul after authorities found them on a North Korean assassin.

By Julian Ryall in Tokyo
7:00AM BST 12 Oct 2011

The weapons include an innocent-looking black torch, complete with a wrist strap and the word "Police" along one side, that is actually a gun capable of firing a bullet.

Prosecutors in the South Korean capital say the weapon had a range of around 30 feet and was loaded with a bullet that was coated in a poisonous chemical. A mere 10 milligrams of the poison is sufficient to cause breathing problems or heart failure, they said. snip

The North Korean agent was also armed with a gun designed to look like a fountain pen that could fire a bladed projectile and another ball-point pen that concealed a poison-tipped needle.

1. Kim Jong Il is basically a Bond Villain
anyway, so why not.

Could give Ernst Blofeld a run for his money.
