World's Smallest Functional Revolver

At just 2.16-inches, the SwissMiniGun is the world's smallest functional revolver, complete with ammunition -- shoots tiny 0.35-inch long bullets. Product page here.
This miniature Swiss-made revolver and its ammunition are painstakingly crafted using watchmaking technology. Looks like the little shooter could do some damage, propelling that tiny slug at 426.5 f/sec. out of the muzzle

426 fps huh? In paintball, we shoot at 300 fps with a .68 caliber. Airsoft guns shoot at around those speeds or maybe a little less with 0.25 or 0.2 caliber and doesn't break skin. What I want to say is; it MAY break skin at point blank on naked skin. If it does break skin, it will only make you angry but surelly won't stop you. Maybe a well placed shot to the eye can stop you.

I've been shot with a mini-gun that shoots at 330/fps and it didn't break the skin. Left a nice welt and some swelling.

I very sriously doubt that it could kill unless you fired it point-blank ito someone's eye, so it would have at least some chance of reaching their brain. I own a pellet rifle that soots at 850 FPS, and was hit with it square in the chest at 20 feet. I got a black, quarter-sized bruise. This gun is for shits and giggles, nothing more.

Wow, the russians made a miniature draganov sniper rifle that was the size of a swiss army knife. Also, keep in mind that 426 fps is not fast for a projectile fired from a gun- and it is a small round, I figure it would do as much damage to a human as a BB gun, possibly more.

Ummm... On the mfg's website, every single picture of the gun is computer generated. I think it's cool as hell, but it's vaporware.

I think a ricin filled poison dart from an umbrella would do worse damage.

0.8030 ft. lbs. of muzzle energy no, that won't break the skin, nor would it kill if you shot someone in the eye. it's cool though.

Woah, that's tiny. However, I doubt it would go through a pair of jeans, possibly it could break bare skin. Better than those novelty lighters anyway.

I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD GO BACK AND MEASURE THE BULLETS AGAIN...A .35 IS 1/3 OF AN INCH, LIKE AS IN THE .357 MAGNUM. WAY TO GO WITH THE MEASUREMENTS.
