BERLIN, GERMANY - JANUARY 24: A cup of just-brewed flat white, a variation on the classic cappuccino, stands on a counter at Bonanza Coffee Roasters on January 24, 2011 in Berlin, Germany.

Typical sales of five to seven guns a day have risen to 20 to 30 in the last week, while gun-handling courses for November and December are fast selling out.
