Novelty guns

[Sam1]

While waiting on Rugerla to show up at the armory today I scoped out quite possibly the ugliest gun ever built.  the .22lr zip gun.  Had to buy it for purely novelty purposes.

 

Have not shot it, don't really intend on it but from what I read online, this thing should shoot sub-MOA unscoped at 1200 yards.  Is definitely in the leagues of my AR10, and since the ammo is cheaper I may just start using it to hunt large game.

 

Here she is in all of her glory - haven't came up with a name yet but some on the internet know it as "possibly the most pointless gun that has ever been built"

I haven't seen one, but after your post, I went to youtube and enjoyed Ray Barone's review on the Zipgun. :rofl:

I saw one of these somewhere, Pigeon Forge maybe. better not put the back of it next to your shoulder.

Get a double BX-25 mag and it'll be the most annoying pocket gun on the block :rock:

This one is definitely just a talking piece. It's one of the first models that requires an update, and the company is so cheap they just put the parts in a bag in the box and you have to do the upgrade yourself.

This thing is comical. They even make a silencer kit so you can mount one on it. Edited August 23, 2015 by Sam1

Oh, I like odd stuff. I'm glad you posted this. I never knew it existed.

Does that have a picatinny rail on the bottom?

[TrickyNicky]

There is a rail on them. About as useful as the overall design :rofl:

 

I actually think they're neat, operating system is interesting and the action is simple enough. I think with a better design these would be selling as fast as they could make them. A design you could comfortably hold. Don't forget the ejection port is on the right hand side and pretty easy to block or even totally cover were you to use your middle finger to shoot these as seems sort of intuitive holding them.

 

Mines a novelty too. Bought pretty much the same way for the same reasons. I did fire one round through mine after a fair amount of taunting. Heres mine next to a few other novelty guns.

it mounts on your AR as a forend grip.

I'm still laughing at idjuts video and his fasination with the sixth letter of the alphabet. :rofl: Very entertaining and most likely intentionally so.​ And yes I can see the curiosity and novelty aspects of the pistol in question here.

As they mention, needs a SBR stamp to go on a rifle. But you could put it on an AR pistol, and as a long as it's 26" legal OAL, doesn't matter if ATF also calls it a vertical forward grip or not.

That is an unregistered SBR.

Not only does it have a rail on the bottom, it came with a rail for the top too!

[rugerla1]

Sam1 when you said you were getting something different, I wasn't prepared for what I saw behind that counter lol. It really is worth getting it for the same reason you stated "Just to have it"!
Definitely a conversation starter :up:

How awesome is that, NV for the top and a IR laser for the bottom..

Maybe.   I dunno, is just an image off the web.  Maybe he paid the tax on his right, maybe not.   It does put a stock on a pistol, so yes, its a SBR.

Just one of those things, they probably sell a lot of them for the same reason... have them on the shelf beside 1911's, so you're looking and looking at the nice stuff and then WTF is that thing contaminating the scenery?  :rofl:

[Mike.357]

how much does it retail for?

Lmao, very true! By the way, nice to meet you and enjoyed talking to you about all 50 subjects we covered Haha.

[Sam1]

@Mike.357

 

$199

 

Wouldn't have bought it if it cost anything remotely close to a real gun.

I have the .22 mag version. It's a fun little gun to shoot with a surprisingly AWESOME trigger. It'll reach on out there too. I shot mine @ 100 yds before and wasn't disappointed.

 

I wish it folded down flat like a Sub 2000 does instead of folding into a "V" shape, but it still fits in a small backpack.
