What is this actual obscenity sin against God
What the FUCK is this thing?
What the frick
it's kinda neat, 10 rounds of 22 and ain't nobody ever thinking that it's a gun folded. pity it's 900 dollars
Can anyone explain how the frick the magazine works on this?
dont even see where the spent brass is going
It ejects out the bottom of the grip.
Magic.
I have a thing for contraptions like this or the Bullpup 9.
My intuition is that it's more of a rack than a magazine. The paws advance the rounds like in a belt-fed mg.
I smell burt
His smell is hard to miss.
Ok, that is actually some innovative design.
Weird, but... it seems to work?
Dumps the empty shells downwards, through the handle part.
I'd love to see a schematic about the barrel/action block.
Fricking kraut space magic.
If you watch this you understand pretty well how it works. As for schematics, refer to the patent:
https://patents.google.com/patent/US9945629B2
It's still not an in-depth "how the frick does this shit works", personally I'd love to see some CAD animations, but they're not necessary.
there's something incredibly satisfying about how the magazine cover clicks closed
The Plastic parts are so thin and look so ...toy-like that This can not have a long service life. It would break quite easily.
Hell, I managed to break Swisscard tool while it was inside my wallet.
Still, I have to give them the credit for innovative design.
The creator claimed he shot 3000 rounds through it without cleaning it because its "self cleaning".
I doubt the veracity of both of those claims. It doesn't look like the gun would go 3k rounds without needing a cleaning, "it self cleans!!!" is a complete meme and false advertisement on every single gun manufacturer that says this.
I also doubt the gun would even survive 3k rounds. But I suppose .22 LR is a pretty baby round so maybe it can survive that many rounds without breaking who knows.
On this point- I do have one of these. I haven't shot it a ton yet as I only recently took delivery of it, but I will say it runs shockingly clean, especially for a .22 LR. My opinion is that this is because, being a long-recoil action, the chamber is closed for long enough that nearly all the burnt powder is spent out the front of the barrel, leaving very little leftover to dirty up the gun when the action then opens up to eject / feed the next round.
Additionally,
most of the frame is actually aluminum, which I didn't realize until I had the gun in hand.

>Picture appears to show .223 or 5.56 training rounds in the clipazine
Nani the frick?
Ah yes. 22 rimmed with no bottleneck

Honestly I really like the gun. It'd be perfect for me to carry in a corporate office without worrying about people noticing that I have a gun on me. Especially since my job is extremely anit gun and I have to drive through the ghetto to get to work.
It’s cool and based. Just expensive and concerned about QC.
Yo thats super neat
That’s fricking goofy. I like it.
I’ll never carry a gun that requires an extra step of unfolding, but mechanically I like it.
I love it,
>I love how it folds up,
>I love how it’s magazine is different
>I love how you could probably take the whole barrel assembly and put it in something else with ease,
>I love its small enough to just fit in a pocket, and not look like a gun
>I love the brass ejects out the handle.
>I love the teardown is all tool-less
It’s such a weird thing and I know different does not automatically mean good, but we need more frick around guns so we can get more find out guns.
>I don’t like that it’s only .22LR
>I don’t like how flimsy some of the frame looks
>I don’t like the lack of a spring loaded, 1 hand, 1 button method to deploy it
>I don’t like that reloading it in a pinch would be difficult
>I don’t like that you have to charge the handle? Literally to clear a dud round
>I don’t like the price
I would love one to play with,
But at that price for that calibre I don’t think I would use it for anything else but a range toy…. Maybe for jogging actually, I could pop that into a pocket or something.
>Maybe for jogging actually, I could pop that into a pocket or something.
You could get a pocket pistol for that. I think this thing's best use case is non carry permissive environments. I.e. you lose your job or go to prison if you get caught. Note that I am not suggesting you carry in these environments, and I most certainly never do myself and I always obey all signs saying I can't carry in a place.
>carry into no-guns areas
Nah that’s not a good case for a $900 pistol. Pocket pistol would also do fine for that, there’s enough small ones on the market that can hide and not print. And it’s not going to survive scrutiny if you have to empty pockets.
For jogging or running I was thinking that would slip into a hydration pouch given its teardrop shape. Or one of those phone belt holders. I’ve not found a good shorts/holster combo for running and not printing or having something slap my thigh every step, or without fear of it flopping out of a pocket
I don't like it for jogging or running because while you're running and all sweaty with your heart pumping I would imagine it would be difficult to pull the foldy gun out with both sweaty hands and unfold it then shoot it. Imagine you're running and a pitbull comes out of your peripheral vision. You don't have time to be fumbling with that folding nonsense.
I only really see it being used as a counter ambush weapon when you have time to deploy it or as a "this is literally all I can carry safely" in a super non permissive environment.

I agree with this entirely. It is perfect for deep conceal carry.
The creator is autistic and needs to work on his marketing. In the interview video:
>i made this gun because my family member got raped in her apartment twice
>it's a home defense gun
This gun is trash for home defense lol. It's possibly the best non permissive environment carry gun ever made though. He needs to market for the latter, especially at the premium price you pay for this thing. No one is paying $900 for a cumbersome .22LR folding pistol as their home defense gun.
He's the definition of an engineer and not a people person or marketer.
This is cool as frick, and it looks like a very simple design mechanically.
I would bet money that the 3D printing autists could reverse engineer this thing and produce some DIY clones.
