Selling a firearm comes with an inherent entry price. You're spending a minimum of $50 to just get a gun to a retailer, then at least another $20 for a gun with bare minimum construction quality. Factor in a background check plus profit margins and you're spending a minimum of $100 any time you buy a gun from a manufacturer. I can't think of any gun I'd spend $100 on for a single use other than something like a rocket launcher, grenade launcher, or recoilless rifle.
>its not that good that the a big part of the population there would kill you for a penny
Well thank god it’s that easy for citizens to acquire a firearm, sounds like they’ll need to defend themselves
Closest made were the ring of fire guns like Lorcin.
Implication with this thing is it's just strong enough to survive firing one magazine. The engineering to create that would be incredible... easier to just make a reliable firearm.
As
Points out we don't live in cp77 and actual economics prevail.
Might be too complicated to reliably cut down on materials enough to increase profits. Either it's too dangerous or durable enough to warrant normal use and full price margin.
Maybe it'd work with something like gyrojets where the bullet is very involved and expensive just for the sake of some convenience. Or those German rifles whose barrels melted.
>Why are there no disposable one time use guns out there?
There is no technology that justifies it for anything but the most ultra niche use case. In scifi disposables are often something like compact plasma guns, something with an incredibly complex payload or delivery system that would otherwise by 5x as big and with enough destructive power to justify one-and-done. Anti-tank missile in handgun form effectively. But IRL there is no such thing, for just cartridges the ammo is cheap, gun is expensive, and ammo can't be so effective that'd it'd justify such a mass/cost tradeoff at all.
About the only actual disposable guns I can think of out there were yet another bunch of specialized assassination tools where insanely tiny concealability and stealth outweighed everything and the point was killing just one single target, then getting away (so immediately throwing away the weapon would make total sense), and there is intel-agency class budget.
>something with an incredibly complex payload or delivery system that would otherwise by 5x as big and with enough destructive power to justify one-and-done
Heh. You just perfectly described the Javelin missile system. Those are a one shot as well, not meant to be reloaded.
lots of rocket launchers that have disposable polymer tubes but it's hard to come up with applications for a lighter nondurable barrel except rocket launchers
For sure, I wouldn't call those "guns" though. But yeah you can basically call the scifi type stuff like that "javelins in a handheld form", like often (though not always) they're using some sort of energy thing such that it's effectively recoilless (or very low recoil) despite not being a "rocket". But we don't really have the capability to do that for a handgun form factor.
Otherwise sure though, IRL the perfect example is all sorts of ATGMs/MANPAD systems, designed to let infantry counter single very powerful/valuable opponents that'd be impossible to deal with otherwise, but are also going to be seen in small numbers, and then once you deal with it you want to just throw away all the mass and go back to normal infantry combat. Aircraft/helicopters/tanks.
Has anyone tried 3d printing a shell for an altor pistol? Seems like a fun cheap pistol to modify. Maybe drop it into a Glock-shaped clamshell with a better grip, rails and a longer trigger
And pay for an expensive electronic firing system when you can just have some lowest-bidder scrap metal springs in there? Who do you think we are, Millitech?
These almost count. While not disposable per say they were designed to be cheap enough that you wouldn't feel too bad about dumping one down a storm drain while running away from having just emptied it into the belly of some some guy who tried to pick up your favorite girl.
Because economic aspects, simple as.
Weapons with mags are cheaper for companies in the long run. End of story
>Do not reload
what the frick?
its a single use machine pistol with a internal 36rd mag made out of the cheapest plastic available that retails at 90 Eurodollars.
they are 630 eddies, choom
inflation
nylon printed barrel pistol. the frame is reusable but if you want to fire it several times you change out barrels which are each loaded with 1 round.
this makes MrCummyPaws asshurt
The cheapeast object to ever do so, I'd imagine. I had no idea Bad Dragon stuff was so expensive.
so does dog penis, to be fare
The former Prime Minister of Japan literally just got assassinated by a one time use gun.
this.
Which was fired twice.
>simpsons shotgun meme.jpg
The gun was one time use.
It was a double barreled shotgun.
Really it was the Joe Biden special.
Gave him two good blasts.
>fired twice
>one-time use
What are ya, stupid?
It was made to fire both barrels once
So, it's not single use.
because it offers nothing that reusable guns can't do
i think OP means one use gun for sale
It was loaded with pachinko balls
k
Glocks.

Damn, South Africa is based.
>Damn, South Africa is based
Its an ad from the 'Gun Free South Africa ' lobby group.
Thanks, anti-gun groups, for portraying us as more based than we actually are.
Yeah till you realize thats its not that good that the a big part of the population there would kill you for a penny.

>Explosive based weapon
Anon you have far more trust than I do.
convert a disposable vape pen into a zip gun and you are half way there
There are heaps in landfill
You need economy of scale to produce such zippos at low prices. There's really no situation for which you'd need such a gun
>disposable one time use guns
they are called "hand grenades"
>fantasy world where you didnt need to provide credentials and undergo background checks at an FFL to purchase
Oh so you mean Arizona
Bud if your FFL isn't making you fill out 4473s then they're not going to be in business for much longer
Circa World War II.
>Why are there no disposable one time use guns out there?
pretty sure grenades are a thing, also see picrel.
3D printing, pipe shotguns.
since when are pipe shotguns ever one-time use? unless it blows up in your hands, just take out spent and fire again

Isn't that just a bullet?
The OSS made a disposable single shot pen gun in WW2.
these might as well be, i don't even want to shoot this thing ironically
Yeah the Saturday Night Specials are the closest to that and probably what inspired the one in Cyberpunk.

hi point exists?
There pretty much are. But non-reloadable guns are just dumb wacky shit when it is not expensive at all to design for reloads.
Has anyone tried 3d printing a shell for an altor pistol? Seems like a fun cheap pistol to modify. Maybe drop it into a Glock-shaped clamshell with a better grip, rails and a longer trigger
Yes, a Redditor did, /k/ was too busy talking about politics and what brand optic they like the most.
how cheap can you go with materials without it exploding
Jesus what a fugly design.
Here OP, have this.
Is that a ludicrously large trigger or is the rest of the gun just very small?
the mag seems superfluous
why not have the rounds prechambered in a disposable barrel
And pay for an expensive electronic firing system when you can just have some lowest-bidder scrap metal springs in there? Who do you think we are, Millitech?
shame this wasnt expanded on in the game and you literally never had a need to use it
