“My favorite part is that manufacturer claims that U.S. authorities freak out when they think criminals will go through the trouble of obtaining a SwissMiniGun and all the required paperwork when they can just buy some Soviet machine gun in a minute. Common sense, people.”

UMMMMMM, i think this one’s a bit more concealable than a soviet machine gun…not to mention authorities probably wouldnt take it seriously if they saw it in person - it looks like a keychain!!! Easily can be put in the bin when you go through a metal detector at the airport. Not that it would be as lethal as an AK47…but still…Common sense? think again.

Q) Are hand models with broken fingers just that little bit cheaper?

And speaking of fingers, how the hell do you fire that thing, let alone aim it?

You’re hardly going to look intimidating… “Freeze, punk! I’ve sorta got a gun, here…no seriously, I can show you the manual” etc etc

…and shoots pellets, right? They might hurt, but probably are less effective than a bullet designed to pierce flesh. Of course, I’m hardly a gun expert.

Doesn’t look lethal. I bought a CO2 pellet pistol (.177caliber) from Wal-Mart that fires at 430feet-per-sec which is 293mph.

If it’s going 300mph you’re probably in for it if it hits the right part.

Yet another fine addition to the Swiss Army line…

Sorry — I don’t know anything about guns really so this may be a stupid question. But considering the size of the bullets, could these actually be lethal? If so, at what range?
