The terrifying 4-inch key fob gun used to shoot clubber ‘in row over girls’

At first glance it looks like any other keyring used for automatically unlocking car doors.

But this innocent-looking key fob hides a deadly purpose.

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand it is actually a double-barrelled gun capable of wounding and even killing a man.

The terrifying new escalation of Britain’s gun culture was revealed in a landmark court case in which a clubber who shot a man with the weapon was jailed for nine years.

These fob guns were made in Bulgaria as small emergency flare guns for life jackets but have been converted to fire .25 caliber bullets.
