The ATF is an organization which shouldn't exist.
Ronald Reagan planned to dissolve them into the FBI where they belong, but got stopped.
Unfortunate.
Create a bureau to find and hunt down witches, and they will create them.

OH MY GOD!
PANIC, PANIC, run and hide!
A bullet with a weight equal to a speck of sand, propelled at an incredible 400 FPS!
Why, that's slower than the cheapest BB gun on the market, it must be SUPER DEADLY!
You could lose an eye!
(end sarcasm)
Typical BATFE and liberal idiocy, the "gun" has never been exported to the U.S., there is no plan to export it to the U.S., and even if they came in U.S. breakfast cereal boxes the projectile is too anemic to do much more than annoy a victim.
I guess BATFE is concerned about rich thugs spending $5,000 ea. for tiny little guns to rob 7-11's with!
Thugs can easily trade drugs for all the real guns they want, or steal them, this is such a non-problem it's a sick joke that BATFE even responded to the lib's panic.

Yea, had they pulled out these peashooters they'd not even made it past the flight attendant. We'd all be so lucky if terrorist chose this weapon.

I'm just curious. What velocity could the average person achieve throwing an object that size? What would be the equivalent muzzle energy as the object left the hand?A MLB fastball leaves the hand around 140 feet per second. For a non athlete with a more ordinary pitching shoulder, that would be more like 110 to 120 fps.
Throwing this tiny speck of a projectile would seem to be significantly more difficult than launching a baseball, as the bullet has essentially no inertia to balance your throwing motion against. I think 100 feet per second would be an optimistic goal.
At 100 feet per second, the 2.3mm SwissMiniGun projectile would have a muzzle energy (or more properly, a palm energy) of about .044 foot pounds - or 0.7 foot ounces.
A baseball at 140 feet per second has about 100 foot pounds of energy.

What a joke. 400 fps is slower than almost all airguns. Heck, I have one that is 1000 fps, with a MUCH bigger bullet.
This is asinine.

A police officer would die laughing than see it as a threat.

This pretty little toy gun can be carried on its own key chain holster. Its big enough to fit into a lady's purse:

A terrorist, a criminal trying to sneak into bank, all kinds of criminals. I can see no legitimate reason to own this gun. It seems to be just made to be hidden, McMahon said.
I used to work at a bank. I am so glad they weren't around back then, someone might have tried to rob the bank with one. I might have fallen down laughing and hurt myself. I'm no gun nut, but even I can tell that that my neighbor's kid's bb gun is more powerful.

You would have seen the minigun and died laughing on the bank floor. That's how deadly these things are! Thank G*d criminals don't have these...all the busted guts would make for a long cleanup.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Its too late. The image of my insides spilling out from laughter actually made me giggle. It was a very graphic image in my mind, too. I think this site is too addictive for me.

"How did I ever get along with five?"
A friend of mine had one of those. We really had a hard time figuring out our play story line. Not cowboys, not soldiers, but maybe spies. But surely the enemy would notice the extra finger that didn't bend...
Now the Mattel spy guns disguised as a camera or radio, those were way cool. Except when you hit the button, they almost jumped out of your hand.

A national police organization notes that unlike air guns, SwissMiniGuns can be concealed and shoot with gunpowder bullets that travel at 400-plus feet per second.
That could put an eye out!
Yes mother, I was listening to you way back when.

As always, the emphasis is on the THING rather than the PERSON with violent intentions and no restraining set of morals. They will sure as hell want to ban this thing. Instead, they should ban people with violent intentions and actions. Damn the left!
