This is one of the most [bizarre cell phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-phone-experimentation) I have seen. This is a mobile embedded in an Uzi machine gun. Assuming that both the weapon and the mobile are fully functional, you should be able to go on a rampage and call all your friends to brag about it.

I have a feeling this is a [Photoshopped image](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellphone-bill) and I usually find these things hilarious, but my aversion for guns and other weapons precludes any celebration on my part. Nicely done work anyway.
