I like the Russian sniper. However, there is no way in hell I'm going to carry around something that looks like a gun. Chances are against you of someone mistaking it for a real gun and shooting you with a real one.

An entire building on my campus was shut down because of a possible weapon suspicion.

It was a utility toolbox.

I would be worried as hell to have one of those, and so would anyone that I was trying to take a picture of. Of those, the only one I would use would be 13, since it's bright blue.
Personally I would think a camera shaped gun would be more useful. >)

"Don't take my picture!"
"Seriously, don't take my picture. You're freaking me out!"

No one will ever want there picture taken again.

It's dangerous enough walking around with a regular SLR in some places with all the terror paranoia. Lugging around one of these is just asking for trouble...
