United States of America

Our Miniature Revolver ref. C1ST is not importable in the United States.

We have received a letter from the US Department of Justice mentioning that our Miniature Revolver does not meet with the minimum size prerequisites referring to the Factoring Criteria For Weapons ATF Form 4590.

Our revolver therefore is classified as not sporting and is not importable.
Booo. Of course, at this point I wouldn't be spending $6,000+ on that, but it sucks knowing that when I hit the lottery, I won't be able to. Ehh, who am I kidding. My fat fingers would break that thing like it was from a $.25-machine at the grocery store.

Screw the ATF.

The whole "sporting" clause is BS.

Killing tool? For what??

I think it's more of an extravigant novelty. An exercise in design execution all based on the cool factor. Nothing more.

An animal tried to break into my house

Duh.



BTW, I was hoping this was a Swiss minigun, not a "mini" gun.

Well it just seems kind of pointless making a real working gun thats so small it can't actually be used for anything other than a novelty.

But I guess whatever floats peoples boats.

All my guns are novelties.

I don't hunt nor do I kill people. I just shoot firearms for the heck of it.

I almost posted on this yesterday. Drudge had it up with the headline "deadly mini gun capable of shooting 400-mph". And then you read the details and find out 400-mph is only 399 feet per second. That's just a bit more powerful then a Daisy Red Ryder. And we all learned how dangerous they were by watching the Brady Bunch. Although I'm sure some member of the House of Commons is moving legislation thru the British Parliament to Ban these deadly weapons in England as we post.

Well then, you just saved yourself 6K US I have a feeling the company will do a good business for those that enjoy expensive novelties.

Looks cool, but not very practical.
