A firearms manufacturer has designed a folding handgun that can deliver a deadly shot, despite being able to fit in your wallet.
     The tiny shooter, which can hold five .22 rounds, is the same dimensions as a stack of credit cards.
     The Lifecard.22LR, marketed as 'the last gun you'll leave behind', weighs just seven ounces (198g), less than a Big Mac.

The company behind the gun, Trailblazer Firearms, is said to have been working on the concept for the LifeCard for seven years.
     The North Carolina firm say the small pistol boasts a steel barrel, bolt and trigger and extra ammo storage for four extra rounds.
     It folds up into a 3.375 inch (8.6 cm) by 2.215 inch (5.6 cm) card that is half an inch (1.27 cm) thick.
     It is going on sale throughout the US for $399 (£305), apart from California and Massachusetts, through various distributors, including Ellett Brothers and Jerry’s Sport Center.
     The first deliveries are expected in mid August.
     The company says it will not be available to buy in the UK.
     Trailblazer president Aaron Voigt, who has served in both the Marine Corps and the US Army, said: 'New designs and true innovation have been the exception and our goal is to be the pioneer laying new trails for gun enthusiasts, designers and manufacturers.
     'Initially, I had no idea that going from concept to actual product would take seven years.
