Sometimes new technology can be wonderful and other times it's downright scary.

Swiss gunsmith, SwissMiniGun has developed a tiny weapon, called the smallest working revolver by Guinness World Records, that's so small, it's banned in the United States. The Miniature Revolver is less than 2.2-inches long but has all the features of a real-sized gun, according to the company. And from short range, it can kill you.
