Be wary of where your enemy's pointing his pen before you sign that peace teaty. It could contain a 'hidden clause' in the form of a bullet between your eyes.
Criminals, saboteurs, and secret agents have long known that the best disguised weapons are devised from the most familiar, innocuous-looking objects. That is why the common pen has been used for decades as a housing for concealed guns, knives, and bombs. This is the most complete book ever on these devious shock weapons, compiled by the author of the infamous How to Kill series.
Fingertip Firepower is loaded with information, anecdotes, photos, and illustrations that will give you the inside story on these most esoteric of weaons. Balisong pen knives, hypodermic needle pens, 'blow' pens that shoot poison darts, tear-gas pens, and the more popular forms of booby-trapped exploding pens are covered, as are the many types of pen guns-percussion cap, pinfire, needlefire, rimfire, centerfire, shotshell, and even rocket launching-that have been developed over the years. A special section features rare assassination and E & E devices developed and used by the Gestapo, OSS, SOE, CIA, Vietcong, and other espionage, military, and terrorist organizations.
John Minnery proves that not only is the pen mightier than the sword, sometimes it is the sword!
