Victor Aster is a Belarusian firearms concept designer. He goes over one of his CAD designs of a personal defense weapon (PDW) called Humble-Bee. The idea is to have a compact firearm for law enforcement and military needs which would be very simple, lightweight and easy to use.
Initially, Victor was considering the Humble-Bee to be a less-lethal gun firing rubber bullets and dedicated for police use. Later he rethought the idea and now it is designed to be chambered in 9x19mm. The receiver of this firearm is supposed to be completely made of polymer.
The overall design concept is inspired by the Italian Spectre M4 SMG. According to the designer, he moved away from having a magazine inside the grip to be able to design a more ergonomic and comfortable pistol grip. The grip also has a rubber backstrap. The muzzle device is a rough mockup and the designer would probably opt not to have one at all. Read the rest of the Belarusian Humble Bee PDW review here.
Too big for concealed carry, too small for long range.
Not sure what the designer was going for here?
Very broomhandle Mauser-ish.
Everything old is new again. He copied the old German “broomhandle”.
Internal, non-detach mag? Blech.
where do you get that from?
What?
what? Internal, non-detach mag? Blech.
Yeah. Not a fan of internal mags, especially on a handgun.
I didn’t see that. OK. I withdraw my objection.
it's still a toy
