Knife with a CO2 cartridge will put you in a world of hurt

gas-knife.jpgHere's a little piece of advice for you if you're ever attacked by a shark: sharks absolutely hate it when you stab them with a knife that also shoots compressed air into them. It's just excruciatingly painful, see? All you need is, you know, a knife that has a CO2 container in the handle that's designed for blasting air into gaping wounds.

We've seen a design for just such a knife before, but now here's the real deal. It works on not just sharks, obviously, as I'm pretty sure any living creature would be put into a world of hurt by getting a hot air blast in a fresh knife wound. Apparently, they aren't selling it to civilians, just to the military, but as with most things there's probably a way to get your hands on one. Scary.

While you are right about any type of gas being pumped into the body via a knife would be painful you mistake the gas as being hot. CO2 gas when ejected from a cartridge is cold, cold enough to freeze a small quanity of water if the cartridge is submerged.

one other slight oversight: you do not have to be military or police to order. simply fill out the shipping info and provide a CC number, and voila - you'll be turning bears into balloons in no time!
