The Taliban assassinated Ahmed Shah Mahsoud, one of the Northern Alliance
leaders/warlords, on Sept 9th 2001 using a weapon built into a video camera.
The gunman was a news cameraman. You don't want to piss people like that
off, which is why Cotty never gets to interview any British warlords.
What I'm thinking of, and i swear I've seen a photo or drawing of it,
looked exactly like some common SLR. Behind the lens was a very short
barrel that could fire one shot. It may not have really existed, and,
for all my memory is worth, could have been something I saw in a comic
book 25 years ago.
The idea was used in them movie, "How I spent my summer vacation."
staring Robert Wagoner. It was a Yashica TL Electro with a 12 gauge
shotgun shell behind the lens...
