This morning, in a joint news conference held in Austria and Italy, Steyr and Morini debuted a new air pistol - the Athen Olympic Model. The collaboration combines the noted technological features of Steyr's LP-10 and Morini's 162EA electronic trigger.
The new pistol's annoucment however sparked controvercy as three Bavarian air gun manufacturer's said they would immediately file a protect with the ISSF objecting that the new pistol not be allow use at this summer's games.

I'm sure I'll never be able to get one... those Italian Morinis are much too hard to find.

I don't know about India, but in many countries April 1 is called April fool's day. This is the day that it is OK to lie and come up with some stories to make others believe in them.
I think that this is one of these stories.
