QuoteAdd this to my “Things to hyperventilate over” list: British police are on the lookout for something called a ]WASP Knife, a weapon that injects a ball of compressed gas into its victim that then expands to the size of a basketball, instantly freezing and exploding their internal organs. The blade, which was designed to help hunters and divers bring down large wild animals quickly, could possibly be bought on the internet by serial killing-minded crooks. Look at what it does to a watermelon!

I want this in Team Fortress 3 please.

oh my god.


if this gets into London, not only will more people be stabbed, but almost all of them will be killed.


cool!!!!!

Holy shit, that is insane. I think the Spy could really afford to use one of those. Then facestabs would actually work.

Well I'm avoiding the streets, now.

I did a quick Google search, and its real intent is actually only defensive purposes, particularly if you get attacked by a large animal, like a shark. It also claims that, if used underwater, the "victim" would float to the surface before releasing any blood, according the website that sells them, thus attracting other sharks to the surface, and not towards you.

This knife does make a lot more sense when it comes to self-defense than that shotgun in a pistol.

any thing that have a short attack range like knifes are made for defense only, if you are going to kill something, use a gun

It's like that chick from Death Proof said:

"Why don't you use a knife?"

"Bitch, don't you know what happens to people who carry knives? They get shot."

Dutch racial joke involving vieze gore messentrekkers goes here.

looks painful, and I need my internal organs

I don't think you're any more likely to be stabbed by this than a regular knife, so I don't worry.

Wow that would be a horribly painful way to die...

I'd rather die by having my internal organs explode than have some fucker stab me a couple of times somewhere in some kind of backalley, then crawling to the nearest person before dying in an ambulance an hour later. But if that's your cup of tea then you go I guess.

most people actually survive a couple of stabs (in the abdomen, not in their eye or anywhere close to their heart)!

Doesn't stop shitty fuckers stabing you with it.
In the UK atm knife crime is stupid, every day someone gets stabbed to death its not even funny but I think all the newspapers doing articles on this knife are fucking idiots, the knife hasn't hit the UK yet and people more than likely didn't know about it, now all they have done is given the shitty people over here ideas and informed them of a more deadly knife to carry around.....mind you they can't afford to buy one poor fuckers.

Question: If you get stabbed in the head, what happens?  I mean, I know you pretty much die no matter where you get stabbed in the head, because you got stabbed in the head...

I'm not sure how that works. You can slam someone on the head multiple times and they still won't die. I mean, if the part of your brain that controls the heart or lungs is still working, you'll basically just flail around until all activity in your brain ceases and you'll suffocate. But I assume the shock of having a direct stab to the brain is enough to kill you as much as a gun-shot.

Then again, I guess you have to know it happened, because I read about this one guy in biology who got a rail spike through his jaw and all the way up through his head and he survived (though his personality changed considerably because of brain damage).

Phineas Gage. His frontal lobe was damaged, reducing his impulse control and making him a fuck head.

And I'm pretty sure a gun shot is much, much worse than a stab wound.
I don't know what the bullet does when it's in there, but if exit wounds are any indication, it's pretty fucking horrible. A knife just cuts whatever it cuts, a bullet will basically explode most of your head.

It looks like the super knife just empties a co2 cartridge into whatever it stabs, so I imagine it just does what it does to your torso organs, only to your head instead.

I'd rather opt for a gun for self-defense purposes than a knife like this.  Mainly because in a stressful, unplanned encounter it's more natural to slash at somebody than to stab, making its features useless.

I highly doubt you're gonna be getting murdered like this, unless you're gonna get killed by Batman or something. The knife is extremely expensive.
