I Have To Admit,

the gun laws in the UK are quite strict,


so I am not surprised that this mini gun is banned in the UK, but what did surprise me is that it is also banned in America! it seems strange that you can buy anything from a semi automatic rifle to a elephant gun, if you fill in the paperwork, but America deems this little gun too dangerous for the American public,

photograph from the Swiss Mini Gun, which holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest functioning revolver in the world. It measures 5.5 cm long, 3.5 cm tall and 1 cm wide, weighing only 19.8g whilst its reduced size may be unusual, this tiny firearm has all the same features as a normal-sized double-action revolver. Its manufacturing was only possible by employing techniques used in the Swiss watchmaking and jewellery industries, the common C1ST stainless steel model of the Swiss Mini Gun comes with a stylish leather holder, 24 live and 24 blank cartridges, and a cleaning set. The holster features a keyring that can be clipped to a belt loop, like an accessory. The price listed on the Swiss Mini Gun website is 6,300 Swiss francs, at today's rate £4,963.69 or $6,822.60 for exportation exempt of Swiss VAT.

the burning question, could it kill? “We would like to take this opportunity to inform journalists who are interested in writing articles about our product that the power of most airguns or BB guns, which are in many countries freely on sale, can exceed over 10 times the power of our ammunition,” the Swiss Mini Gun website reads. “The power of the Swiss Mini Gun Cal. 2.34m/m ammunition is just less than 1 joule.” however, ballistic expert Steven Howard once told Business Insider that the world’s smallest revolver could theoretically be used to kill someone, but only “if your shot is absolutely perfect” and you hit the “thinnest part of the skull at point range and under perfect conditions.” so small, and apparently so dangerous most of us can not buy one!
