This thread exceeded expectations.

Spy gadgets (real ones anywho, none of that 007 silliness) are an odd interest of mine.

Quite a bit of it. The umbrella gun was linked to attacks on Bulgarian defectors: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/viewAr ... 8-09-30-01

Here is an article with some sans awesome photos.

Even better when you come up on a Master Jedi and he's thinking "I must stay outside 6 feet of this one's reach" and then BAM! hit that Jedi with a .22 cal all up in his ass.....

i always think of butterfly knives.

Mine sucks, and my buddy has a really sweet one, but i cannot for the life of me find one to buy ANYWHERE. They used to be on american ebay, or rarely on canadian ebay and now they never show up.

>_<

Also, when I went back to school for a bit in the mid-'00s I had a science professor from Bulgaria. Older guy, doctorate, physicist. It was an environmental sciences course and he hated both the communists and the Bush administration and would go on these awesome OT rants.

I'm pretty sure they sell butterfly knives in the sketchy beachware/t-shirt/weapons/headshops in the boulevard, if you'd like me to look.
