World’s Smallest Gun Two Inches Long
5.5cm long, and fires 4.53mm bullets up to 112 metres.
When I hear the word “Minigun” I think of something completely different…
I can hear Pvt. Joker now:
“Are those live rounds, Leonard?”
“Four-Five-Three millimeter…full metal jacket.”
This is the world’s smallest gun - and although it might look like a harmless toy to some it is anything but as it is capable at firing deadly bullets at a speed of 300mph.
The Swiss Minigun, being marketed as a collector’s item, is two inches long, and fires 4.53mm bullets.
Costing £3,000 (about $6,000 USD) in stainless steel, a gold-plated, diamond-studded version is also available.
It cannot be imported into the UK, and buyers in Switzerland and Europe must get a permit from police to own one.
The gun is banned in the US - because it is too small to qualify for sporting purposes.

March 5th, 2008 at 8:55 amAs I understand it this gun has a muzzle velocity around 450fps and bullet under 5mm, which would put it in the same “threat” category as a bb gun. Could put an eye out or raise a nasty welt but not exactly deadly. I don’t remember anything in the second amendment about “sporting purposes”.
In my estimation the only purpose for that piece is “sporting” more money than brains.

My thoughts exactly! I would be more concerned about taking a hit from a .177 cal BB or pellet moving at 750fps, from a pneumatic gun that has no registration requirement, than this silly piece POS!
I guess this is just one more example of how the media preys upon the general public’s lack of ballistics knowledge. Very irresponsible reporting!
