It's the kind of unlikely spy contraption you'd expect to see on Get Smart: a mobile phone that doubles as a pistol.
The replica phone, discovered by Italian police during a raid on Mafia in Naples, holds four .22 bullets, Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reports.
The phone transforms into "kill mode" by sliding the keypad section apart.
The stubby antenna works as the barrel of the pistol, with bullets fired by pressing keypad numbers five to eight.
Police said the device was fully loaded when it was found during an early morning raid against the Gionta clan crime family, who control the southern port city of Naples.
Two ordinary handguns, bullet proof vests, cash and ammunition were also seized.
A police spokesperson said the phone pistol is a worrying indication of how sophisticated the Mafia is becoming.
A 28-year-old man was arrested during the raid but other gang members escaped.
It's the mobile phone that could leave you with more than a warm ear.
As startled Italian police discovered, the device seized in a raid on a Mafia gang is actually a pistol.
The phone gun - complete with a dummy display - holds four .22 bullets.
