    Worlds smallest Revolver! $6,000!

    Hopefully not a repost...
    Saw this on the Drudge Report today, amazing the craftmanship and detail that can be done at such a tiny scale!
    Meet the pistol that fits in your pocket - and packs a hell of a punch. The SwissMiniGun is the size of a key fob but fires tiny 270mph bullets powerful enough to kill at close range. Officially the world's smallest working revolver, the gun is being marketed as a collector's item and measures just 2.16 inches long (5.5cm). It fires real 4.53 bullets up to a range of 367ft (112m)

    Saw that too. Doubt it could ever be lethal, unless maybe held up to someone's eye. That cartridge seems too small to even penetrate simple clothing.

            Well, if the dang thing is over 6000 bucks, each round must cost about a hundred bucks.. It sounded pretty loud too..

              The ammo is so small I don't think it could cause a wound cavity large enough to be fatal. I don't even know if it's powerful enough to penetrate clothing, skin, fat, and muscle. Would it even penetrate a human skull unless fired into the eyes, ears, or mouth?

              We got a notice about this firearm which I found funny because I doubt a crimminal would spend so much for such a thing. Probably would'nt even get stolen because it would appear to be just a key chain or a toy.

                        Don't you know, with a quality flash supressor and/or forward pistol grip it could easily put a bear down at 375 feet. And all common criminal's are super rich, so it only make sense that they would want to the most ludicrously priced hand gun money can buy.

                          Reminds me fo the old Kolibri pistol. Those wouldn;t do much either, but I always wanted one. They're so darn cute!

                          The NAA .22 short is probably the smallest pistol in the world still capable of killing- if you put one in the ear or eye socket. That mini (and the Kolibri) probably hit softer than a daisy red ryder.

                            400 FPS. Hmmm, hard pressed to believe its a major threat.
                            Look at the tyranny of party -- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty -- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes -- and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction...
