This Zippo Gun Will Make Smokers Think Twice Before Lighting Up

James Bond might be the kind of guy to own this Zippo gun, but you can grab it and claim some unsuspecting victims for just $7,000 (and a little luck).
If you require security and subtlety in your busy life, this Zippo gun might be exactly what you're looking for. Armed with 6mm copper-cased rounds, this miniature weapon swapped its original wick for a tiny barrel, and replaced the Zippo's flint with a trigger. So when your arch-nemisis innocently asks for a light, he'll get more than he bargained for.
Before your fantasies get the best of you, allow me to deliver some bad news: This particular Zippo was sold at an auction in 2006 for a hefty $6,810 and to an unknown auctioneer. You'll either have to track the lighter down yourself or use the detailed photos (above) to fashion your own deadly Zippo.
