Although I find guns like this fascinating, I really am apprehensive of ever getting one due to how unsafe they look.

I’d probably accidentally blast a shot into my junk within an hour of having one.

Did he just shoot a gun he made himself with no eye or ear protection?

Plus he stuck his finger in front of the muzzle. I think I’ll look to a more careful manufacturer, thanks.

I’m all about freedom to have whatever kind of firearms you want, but it this guy, who was careless enough to shoot a gun he made himself without eye or ear protection can do this, think about how easy it would be to sneak a gun on a plane.

Seriously, the TSA better up their game before terrorists figure out how to make these and turn there phones into them. It would take a super alert TSA agent to spot it inside of a bag of your crap, and could easily kill at least on passenger on the plane. Although the terrorist would be arrested, they would easily shut down airports for a week, cause the TSA to put up more security measures and slow the lines, and easily scare travelers out of flying for awhile.

Its incredible that the US has not figured out an efficient and secure method of airport security — but thats another topic.

Cool little gun though.

EVERTHING goes through the xray machine, it picks up everything. Anything that doesn’t look standardised they check. No one could or would have a single prayer of getting an item like this onto a flight. Lol

I hope it wouldn’t go off in a pocket. I designed it to be double action only!

I support anyone who takes chances, if not for those people we would not learn, and we would be stuck in a boring world. If nothing else it’s entertainment. I look at it this as what not to do and what to do to improve and make it more usable.
