SwissMiniGun Not Intimidating, But Could Still Kill You

The SwissMiniGun is a 2.16-inch replica of a Colt Python, and it's a real gun that shoots tiny bullets that are just .35 inches long. This miniature Swiss-made revolver and its ammunition are painstakingly crafted using watchmaking technology.

Looks like the little shooter could do some damage, propelling that tiny slug at 426.5 f/sec. out of the muzzle. Wonder if it has a kick to it. No word on pricing.

If I can find a way to buy this, I will. I'd pay into the 3 digit range for it no problem, but my calculations place this little gun at $5407.65. I assume the ammo might be hard to find and a few bucks though. I did some checking, and expect to pay around $8.32 a round. This is quite pricey for something that has a questionable ability to kill whomever you want to defend yourself from.

Even a fairly low-powered air pistol has a higher muzzle velocity than that thing, so I seriously doubt you could kill someone with it, unless you made them choke on it or something!

Still, it is a cool thing.

We're talking 2.34 mm here, hardly even big enough to choke on! You'd have to shoot someone in the jugular at point blank range or something.

LOL, I meant choke them by ramming the entire gun down their throat!

I guess you might (just) take someone's eye out with a shot from it.

Paintballs fire at 300fps and that ain't much slower...

Er, can't you defend yourself without killing:p?

It's the derringer of the XXI century! It's smaller that one isn't?

I'm supposed to be afraid, let alone INDIMIDATED, by THAT?!

:rotfl: :rotfl:

That thing looks like it would just sting like hell.

No. If I have to use deadly force (I pray that I never have to for my entire life), then I will use deadly force. This would be in response to someone threatening my physical well being, or that of my friends or family. No other way.

Well, you certainly can't accuse anyone who ones one of those of compensating for something they don't already have.

No, but you can accuse them of accepting reality!
