From their Ammo page:

The power of the SwissMiniGun Cal. 2.34m/m ammunition is just less than 1 joule.

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.

We do not wish to find on the web the same kind of nonsense article we have found lately.

Therefore, journalists are very welcome to contact us for any further information. Thank you.
 
Oh man, I loved those articles.

"What if someone took it on a plane!"

"So all your buyers have been in the middle east, has anyone used it for terrorism?"

"What if a kid got a hold of it?!"

"Well it can still take out someone's eye, and I'm an optometrist, and I oppose any product that can take out someone's eye."

It's so funny, the gun is 5000 dollars. I must admit, I'd buy one if I was like filthy rich. But whats so funny about all the complaints, especially the eye one is that you could just go poke someone's eye out with your finger, or... use 2 fingers and poke out both of their eyes at once :what: !

And if someone tried hijacking a plane with that, he'd just get laughed at.

Still, it is amazing they made a firing gun that small. Props to them, I'd so buy one if I had money to burn (oh yeah, they're not allowed to be imported into USA, because they dont comply with GCA of 68) and could import it somehow (not really too hard).

I remember another guy said "well, if they were just working on making a piece of art, they didnt have to make it fire." If it didnt fire, it'd be the exact same as a 50 cent capsule toy :rolleyes:

Heh, even in japan, it wouldnt be considered a firearm (1.71 joules is a firearm there, so paintball isnt allowed there, that's why airsoft came about.)
 
LOL wow! what is that like $500 per cm? I can't say I'd even buy one if I were rich but it is pretty neat. I'd like to shoot one just see what its like.:rolleyes: Can the round even penetrate skin? 10x less power than a BB gun, doesn't sound very threatening!
 
Google "swiss mini gun." The first article claims it could kill you.

Maybe if you swallowed it.
 
No, boxcutters can be lethal. The metal Stanley ones that only come out like a half inch at most arent the best, but the plastic ones with the big 4 inch blades, I wouldnt want to be on the other end of one. They're razor sharp, (being razors and all) and dont look like weapons. They also are dirt cheap, too.

This, on the other hand, "if you paid me 100 dollars to put it to my forehead and shoot, I'd do it in a heartbeat."
