Dirty Harry wannabe allegedly turns water gun into shotgun

5/22/2012

Silly fun turned into serious gun when Fresno, Calif., police arrested a 54-year-old man on Saturday after discovering that he had turned a "Super Soaker" water gun slung around his neck into a real, working shotgun. "He took the Super Soaker apart [and] was able to fashion a barrel to where he was able to make what's considered a zip gun, where you can fire one round through it. In this case it was a 20 gauge shotgun shell," police Sgt. Mark Hudson said. The man was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm, among other charges. The toy's transformation probably cost only about $30, one gun expert estimated. Super scary.
