Britain on alert for deadly new knife with exploding tip that freezes victims' organs
Police are concerned that the £200 weapon could fall into the wrong hands.
The American-made weapon is sold to hunters and divers and injects the frozen gas when the small handle-mounted trigger is pressed.
The manufacturer describes it as perfect for downed pilots, soldiers and security guards and boasts that it will "drop many of the world's largest land predators".
It can snap-freeze all tissue and organs in the area surrounding the blast.
A source close to West Midlands Police said: "The Met is obviously concerned about this and that is why they have circulated the information.
"This knife will almost certainly kill and the Met must have intelligence that they are in circulation.
"I think it is only a matter of time before one of these is used because the internet makes it much easier to find and buy weapons like this."
Labour MP for Perry Barr in Birmingham, Khalid Mahmood, said: "Weapons like this are absolutely disgraceful and there is no reason at all why people should be walking around the streets with them.
"There should be high-profile operations and high-profile arrests against anybody caught with them. The way to tackle the wider issue of knife crime is with effective community policing, which the West Midlands force does very well.
"The Met could pick up on the lessons from West Midlands Police in its excellent community work in places like Handsworth, Aston and Lozells."
The Wasp injection website states: "The effects of the compressed gas not only cause overinflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea."
This kind of thing can't get on to the streets.
A weapon meant for killing predators, in the hands of civilians? That's just crazy.
o_o
Oh poop.
O_o
Oh jeez, that would be painful to be stabbed with.
"ow you stabbed m-OH JEEZ"

Whoa, how did an average psychotic civilian get his hands on one of these.
I got mad when it read the internet could be at fault for allowing a potenital spread of these.
Wow, how did a civilian get their hands on a weapon like that?
I want one...
It'd be hell if a psycho got one and went on a rampage. 0.0
"The knife most definitely could kill."
I find that part extremely stupid.
IT'S A F****** KNIFE!
IT KILLS NORMALLY!
With that said, Awesome knife.
I wonder what would happen if you had a drunk bum got one.
I wonder what frozen insides feel like?
Eh, I'd imagine instantly freezing to my death would be more pleasant than slowly and painfully bleeding out of a knife wound. Either way, you're dead, so I don't see what really matters.

My point exactly.
Knives kill. It's nothing new!
I think they are making too big of a deal about this.
its not like a standard knife isn't deadly.

The chance of survival is probably greatly lowered when getting stabbed with something like this, though.

The chance of a person not stabbing you repeatedly with a normal knife is also slim.

But this knife doesn't take as much effort.
Easy killing. :P

So there's a Golden Gun variation. :P
Fascinating, I was thinking of ideas for gas-tipped knifes about 2 months ago :P
That knife sounds awesome.

Most people here only get stabbed once.
If kids got these, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Best for suicidal people who would happily donate organs if they somehow died... Who knows how they would die though?
I want one now.
