What do you carry around in your pockets? Wallet? Phone? Gun? This new firearm dubbed, LifeCard, lets you do just that. It is a folding gun that is small enough to fit in your pocket. The gun is being marketed in the US as 'the last gun you'll leave behind'. It is capable of a single shot but the gun also holds extra four rounds of ammunition in its carry case. The tiny gun weighs just 198g which is apparently less than a Big Mac.

The gun's designer is North Carolina company, Trailblazer. The ammunitions startup was founded in 2014 with the single vision of designing a small lightweight gun that could fit in your pocket. After seven years of research and development, they are launching the LifeCard which is currently available from selected gun shops for $399. The tiny pistol boasts a steel barrel, bolt and trigger, and folds up into a leather storage case. Once folded the deadly weapon is just an 8.6 cm by 5.6 cm and 1.27 cm thick block.
