Want to attract attention (and the police) every time you answer your cellphone in public? Then perhaps this build-at-your-own-risk Bluetooth handgun handset project is for you. As far as DIY mods go, this one looks to be simple enough (if somewhat time-consuming), with it involving nothing more than stuffing a disassembled Jabra Bluetooth headset into a suitably realistic-looking airsoft gun, which apparently fits just right so that the trigger operates the call start/end button. If you're still on board, you can find all the necessary details by hitting up the link below.

@modnaR: Evolution.
Nice! I would like to see if the Justice Department shuts this site down because of giving links to these instructions.
(He gets a call and picks up the real gun instead)...hello...click...bang! (wrong number)
As long as it's not a Glock.
Those are bad for your health.
Well, any gun has the potential to be bad for your health.
@Lars
Sir, I refer you to the Medic's gun in TF2
wow...no references to ice cube - check yo self yet?

"Everybody!!! I am on fiyah!"
This is all levels of wrong.
But still funny and brilliant.
Kinda reminds me of Futurama.
"No Professor, don't do it!"
"Don't do what? Don't use this memory ray-gun to recall what happened?"
You misspelled "awesome."

Boston has no sense of humor. With a flatulent name like Bean Town, you'd think they would.
HA! This probably wouldn't even phase anyone there. Remember, it's the unequivocally benign objects that cause the irrational hysteria!
Winner: Dumbest Mod Ever.
I fully agree... Next time he's in the middle of an airsoft battle and answers a call instead of shooting his buddy he'll be sorry...
What about a hands-free version?
Hmm, I suppose it could get tricky if you get someone to hold it for you.

Just make sure you're not using your iPhone to do so, what with its limited Bluetooth support and all...kind of like false advertising there.
Are you really that dumb? False advertising how, exactly? Are you under the impression that you can't use a bluetooth headset with the iPhone? Do tell, this should be good.

This should be good.
Actually a friend of mine who owns an iPhone is always whining about the lack of support for wireless headsets and the non-standard plug for wired headsets.
Caption contest:
OMG i wasted $200 on this pos iphone, I'm gonna kill myself.
This new BT technology blows my mind!
It will when iPhone 3.0 comes out in a store near you sometime in 2009!
I see what you did there.
Request that the "Don't taz me bro!" kid test it out in any airport.
If you run through Hack-a-Day, you'll find one of these things...but in shotgun-esq form
Every human over 25 that still uses a Sidekick and anyone else that doesnt utilize an "inside voice" when talking on the phone in public should be forced to upgrade to this, and walk thru Penn Station in rushhour...on a Friday
what a terribly stupid idea
...honey can you get my gun it's ringing.
What? No, no, it's ok, I'm on the phone!
wow that would really suck if a prankster swapped that out with a real guy...
The flagrant misspellings on these comment boards are starting to get funny.
Whew!
I thought for a second that the guy in the picture was real...
This is what is likely to happen if you are driving....
You get a long line of (insert your favorife PD initials here) following you on the highway and at the end of it all, you get a ticket for talking on the phone stapled to your casket after being shot 7000 times for re-enacting the OJ Chase
California never saw this coming...
just remeber where you keep it.
don't get it mixed with your real one.
*ring ring*

BRAINS EVERYWHERE.
A zombies favorite headset.
Enough $$$ for an iPhone, BT headset, and a fake glock. But no money for a hair cut or a razor. We must appreciate that his gadget priorities are in place.
Why would he want a razr he has an iphone. JK
@deyanimay
That could've been so clever if you'd have just left out the JK.
*sigh*
if only he had an macbook Air,then that could be even more clever
"We've secretly replaced this man's Bluetooth Gun-handset with a real Gun. Let's see if he can tell the difference!"
Nice man, that's the first time I laughed aloud to an engadget comment.
the real gun would normally be heavier, so he can detect it, why not replace it with an unmodified airsoft (burst fire mode)? imagine that little BBs hitting his eardrums, wicked XD
I think you've been upgraded to architect.+1.
good stuff there.
I do believe all four rules are being broken in this photograph. Even if it's just an airsoft USP.
