Swiss mini gun??

[real_name]

I was looking at a table of small carry guns on the smallestguns.com website, the smallest however was something I hadn't heard of previously.

So a few questions. Is the Swiss mini gun any good and does anyone have one?
And why does their website say only this?

Thanks for visiting our website.

Following the polemic created in the USA by the American media about our miniature revolver, we are obliged to close our website for a while.

Hope we will be back soon.

It's purely a curiosity, not a practical implement by any means.

0.7 oz.
6 rounds of 2.34mm ammo, whatever that is?
Half the volume of a single shot .22lr pen pistol.

I'm intrigued.
Was it banned post 9.11 as a perceived threat on planes?

It is non-importable due to its small size per whatever stupid law that keeps Walther PPKs out. Was it th 68 law?

Less punch than a Daisy Red Ryder.

Let's see if they come back with pictures of an actual gun. It was pointed out in another discussion (it might have been here on THR) that all the pictures of the gun on their site were very well done Photoshop fakes. Personally I think the whole thing is a hoax and I will until I see an actual review where someone get to shoot one.

As the above posted pointed out, when the website was up all the images were computer rendered. Some were pretty decently done, some were quite poorly done. While I have no doubt one can make guns of that size, I have yet to see images of a real one from them.

Their site is up and running, they have a certificate from Guinness book of records for the smallest production revolver.
It's real.

if I remember correctly this is nothing new. Pinfire guns have been around for years and this is just a fancy version.
