It's supposed to fit in your pocket and stay there until you need to shoot it. It doesn't matter what it says on the side, it's not supposed to look like your business card or your credit card.
I'd guess they are just engineering projects their creators really wanted to do. What's surprising to me is that these companies are still in business, I'd have thought the silly pointless idea would have Zip22'd them out of the gate
This one actually looks kinda cool in a clunker junker cyberpunk sort of way. Absolutely a waste of time for any practical use tho, the size and concealibility are not much better than a Saturday night special or even just a small .38 revolver but my mom thought they seemed like a good idea so I guess normies are totally entranced by a shit idea with a shit gimmick.
>Yeah it's also a long recoil action which is novel in the pistol space as far as I know.

>Had the Zip 22 been reliable and not a complete piece of shit, I have no doubt that it would still be around today
Then you haven't had the unfortunate luck of handling one lol
Everything about it was ridiculous, it wasn't just the reliability, the "cheap" price wouldn't have saved it
Even being unergonomic as frick, it came out at a time when .22 pistols held slightly over 10 rounds at the most. People would totally have bought them just to frick around with them given all the higher capacity 10/22 mag offerings.
>I'd have thought the silly pointless idea would have Zip22'd them out of the gate
The Zip 22 didn't fail because it was silly and pointless. It failed because it was an unreliable piece of shit, so even people who wanted something silly and pointless couldn't enjoy it. Had the Zip 22 been reliable and not a complete piece of shit, I have no doubt that it would still be around today.

>fedposting gun
They could totally go after the meme survival tool market if they just slapped some sights on it. With some practice, it would be perfectly suitable for taking small game at shorter distances.
Why not variants, one Liberator for larping as Scaramanga waiting to pop someone in the back, and one micro squirrel rifle like a pocket sized AR-7 Survivor rifle.
>doesn't have any advantages
You're either just mad for no reason and blatantly lying, or an actual drooling moron if you can't see the merits of a tiny pocket-sized peashooter in an unconventional and unrecognizable shape.

Make up your mind. Do you want one or don't you?

Maybe stop treating guns like handbags to be consoomed. If you want one, this is what they cost. If you don't, then don't buy one.
>Thing is nearly 50% more expensive than a fair price >People decide not to buy it >"Reeeee why won't you consume!?! Waste your money it's not even that much goy!!"
Stfu israelite. Also why would you even want one anyways. Maybe if it was like $50 I'd pick one up as a novelty. No sense in throwing away $300 for some nonsense

He very clearly didn't say he couldn't afford it, as you're applying. The gun's a ripoff. 300 dollars for a single-shot .23 handgun is insane. You an buy 3 brand new Rossi RS22 or similar rifles for that price. Three

>all these gays talking about "bang for the buck" with completely different form factors
Obviously the point of this gun first and foremost is just pure silly fun, they did it to see if they could that's it. It's a silly range thing. I got to try one at the range, when it came out everyone wanted to shoot it a few times, it's stupid yet strangely fun anyway, you feel good even getting on paper at 10yd.
But to the extent these things have any point beyond silly novelty it's obviously all about the form factor, so comparing them to anything else at all which doesn't have the same form factor is moronic. Like this quadruple Black person:
>You an buy 3 brand new Rossi RS22 or similar rifles for that price
Comparing a RIFLE to a hyper compact! The kind of moronation that claims phones or notebook computers are all useless because you could just get on your full tower computer. Can I stick in the RS22 into my wallet? No? Then it's not the same fricking thing.
I personally think the actual lifecard itself pushes almost entirely into novelty territory, I prefer something like the kimber solo carry for an ultra compact gun. If I lived in an area so shit where even that couldn't be CCW'd, well I wouldn't live in that area. But I won't claim there can't be anyone out there for whom "gun that carries looking nothing like a gun" couldn't be handy.

Who are you assassinating? It is basically an icepick that only works once and makes a loud noise. Seems pretty pointless to me.
I was referring to the centerfire one which is more complex and made with steel not just aluminum, but that's kinda appealing. Maybe I will huh?

>Frommer
Great another thing I need
You realize it is just a 10/22 receiver and trigger right? Like that’s what it’s based on
I'd buy that for $100.
Even a Heritage Barkeep has more bang for your buck (no pun intended) when it comes to capacity and firepower. Or for the same price, the Ruger LCP or Lelkek pocket .380s are more practical for deep conceal carry. $300 for a meme is not worth it even for a meme gun.
I was thinking of multi-barrel in shape of cell phone or pack of cigs, but was stuck on trigger/safety aspect, but idea was you'd grip it like a phone or pack as a block unit. No real way to aim but it would be only for very close range and could "hide in plain sight".
>and actually had sights
This is my biggest complaint about a lot of guns like this. They always follow that muh belly gun bullshit as if a gun like this is remotely practical today. I'm not saying I want big target sights, but for fricks sake at least actually have something for use beyond just point shooting.
>There are people literally buying this gun from pure spite from a PrepHole thread that was not even insulting them
And PrepHole called people contrarions... Frickin hell I need to make a gun company and start shitting on my own products on here. I'll be making a killing in no time
Can confirm that they are shit, hard to aim and shot a cat in the belly while doing pest control. The reloading takes a sec and just seems cruel that any target will have to suffer as i reload
>Has anyone made a single shot silencer attachment? Like literally just a chamber with a button to screw onto a silencer?
Yes. Vets and slaughterhouse workers used to have a "pistol" that was just a 22 barrel with a slant plate on the muzzle. Put the plate flat against the forehead of the animal and fire to put a bullet directly into the brain of whatever animal you were putting down.
In the slaughterhouses this was replaced by the pneumatic captive bolt gun, and vets switched to chemical euthanasia.
yes, but what is a .22 going to even do for self defense? Pretty much nothing. I mean it's probably better than mace maybe?
The point is if you're really needing something small and concealable for self defense, a revolver does the job better and is still very easy to conceal.
Would honestly be better if it didn't unfold to fire and was just aimed with a laser pointer embedded parallel with 3 or 4 barrels holding 22 LR. Quicker to deploy and it could reasonably be concealed as a phone.
If they weren't over $200 and actually had sights, then I could see them being a fun purchase along the same lines as the NAA mini revolvers.
The NAA minis are more practical. No need to unfold and it holds 5 shots instead of 1.
I kinda want one to hypothetical see what wacky places I could take a gun without people noticing.
Legally, of course.
Only meme about this is the giant .22LR on the side.
Like are you trying to hide what it is or not?
It's supposed to fit in your pocket and stay there until you need to shoot it. It doesn't matter what it says on the side, it's not supposed to look like your business card or your credit card.
It literally is supposed to look like a credit card hence the name

The $600 price is frankly offensive for something so simple
If these were all cheaper I'd have them for the memes, $200 is pretty reasonable for the two-shot ones
Yeah it's also a long recoil action which is novel in the pistol space as far as I know. It's an interesting gun for sure but the price is repellant

The American Derringer Model 1 pen gun technically fits that category.
Also there's a new one called the Ounce, a 10 shot folding .22. It costs $900 LOL
the mag(hopper) is weirdly interesting.
Unfortunately the price of thinking outside the box is exorbitant.
R&D isn't free.
Say Burt, what happened to the Signal 9 pistol?

ok op
>$400 for a shit break action .22 "gun" that doesn't have any advantages over literally dozens of other options.
Yeah, so much fun.
no one is holding a lifecard to your head forcing you to by it
It's very obviously a fedposting gun that intentionally looks innocuous and feels like nothing through clothing.

I don't understand. If you really wans something very small that can be concealed, a .38 revolver does that and actually has some stopping power.
The point is to be more easily concealable because of the even shape that doesn't look or feel like a gun at a glance.
yes, but what is a .22 going to even do for self defense? Pretty much nothing. I mean it's probably better than mace maybe?
