World’s smallest handgun only 2 inches long

Worlds smallest gun2 inches long and deadly, and it’s not a japanese man with AIDS – the Swiss Mini Gun is the world’s smallest gun with the Guinness certificate to prove it. The little thing is a bargain starting only at $6,0000 and fires the world’s smallest 2.34mm ammunition. It can fire the six tiny bullets at 300 mph fast enough to kill humans and action figures alike.

You can customize your mini gun with gold for as much as $60,000. Although you can’t legally purchase the mini firearm in the United States.

The SwissMiniGun is the size of a house key but fires tiny 270 mph bullets powerful enough to kill at close range.

Officially the world’s smallest working revolver, the gun is being marketed as a collector’s item and measures just 2.16 inches long (5.5cm). It can fire real 4.53 bullets up to a range of 367ft (112m).

The manufacturers have received a letter from the US Department of Justice stating that the Miniature Revolver does not meet with the minimum size prerequisites referring to the Factoring Criteria For Weapons ATF Form 4590.

Jonathan Spencer, consultant forensic scientist and firearms expert, said that although the gun, which fires bullets at a speed of 399 feet a second, was tiny, it could still prove fatal and in the eyes of the law was as dangerous as a machine gun.

He said: “The general threshold for perforating the skin is about 330 feet a second.

“Apart from bone, skin offers the greatest resistance to penetration. If it can pass through the skin it is potentially lethal, even if the bullets are small.

“If you shoved something 3mm across into someone’s chest you could kill them. It’s the same with these bullets, they could penetrate the heart.

“It is capable of killing someone. Under section 5 of the Firearms Act it would be a prohibited weapon. It would be on the same scale as a machine gun.”

The gun shoots 2.34 mm calibre rim fire ammunition especially developed for it as the smallest rim fire ammunition in the world.

The Swiss Minigun, which is being marketed as a collector’s item, is just 5.5cm long, and fires 4.53mm bullets up to 112 metres.

Owner Paul Erard said that since the product’s launch three years ago, the firm had sold around 300 of the guns, mainly to collectors in the Middle and Far East.

He said: “We are producing in very small quantities – perhaps 25 gold guns and 100 steel guns a year, and there is a six month waiting list to get one.

“We will make whatever the customer wishes for. The most expensive version we have sold cost £30,000 and was covered in diamonds and came with a gold chain.”

Other bespoke finishes available include ebony grips, hand engraved grips, gold grips with diamonds or collared precious stones.

Mr Erard said that although the double action revolver is similar in appearance to a Colt Python full-size weapon, it was actually based on a Swiss-made revolver.

In September 2006 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives(ATF) in New York issued a warning about the gun after being alerted by a police officer who spotted it on a website.

Special Agent William McMahon said the gun was so small it could pass for a key fob, and warned it made the perfect stealth weapon for serious criminals.

But Mr Erard denied the gun was deadly and said it was only a tenth as powerful as some air guns.

“It is ridiculous. Why would criminals want my gun when you can go out and buy a Kalashnikov there already?”

A Guinness World Records spokesman confirmed the gun held the record as the word’s smallest working revolver.

The stainless steel gun costs $6,000 although the manufacturers also produce extravagant, made-to-order versions made out of 18-carat gold with customised diamond studs which sell for up to $60,000.

  5. It says that the bullet travels at 300mph which is weird because guns are usually measured in feet per second (fps). Doing some figuring it seems that the bullet actually travels 440fps. That’s about half the speed of a pellet gun.

  6. That last pic is a joke lol. Imagine pulling that out on someone and trying to defend yourself, you would certainly be laughed at and then probably beaten to the floor. I thought they would be legal in the UK as the ban on ” hand guns ” was only for 22 cal pistols and above :-S lol.

  7. its amazing head’s of to the person

  8. It could possibly kill someone if you held it against their chest between two ribs, and they didn’t move around a lot, and they didn’t get to a hospital before they bled out. A bullet that small could not hold enough momentum to do much damage over a distance.

  9. That thing could be really deadly. Someone might choke on it.

  10. SEXY GUN

    letsrock on 20 Dec 2008 at 9:27 am
  11. Wow, this is a terribly written article. It gives no less than 3 different muzzle velocities, and the photos of the gun in the hand seem to be photoshopped. Some of the pictures seem to be pure CGI, also. The prices also don’t corroborate, at $6,0000 (?) and $6,000. Apparently, it fires both 2.34mm and 4.53MM ammunition. I’m not saying it’s all false, but c’mon! This is ridiculous.

    Burgerbob on 21 Dec 2008 at 12:10 pm
  12. Gangsters are going to wear it like bling and shoot anyone who disses on it.

    dilo on 17 Oct 2009 at 11:06 pm
  20. I’d recommend using a midget’s finger.

    Michael on 22 Oct 2009 at 5:00 pm
  21. What the hell is this article about. The guy above is right. I was reading this and thiking of why the hell the bullet went from like just over 2mm to .177 (4.53mm) in which case the cartrige would be bigger than the gun itself. Looks like you just colpied and pasted from other articles without even reading them Or you just don’t know jack **** about guns.

    Leiws on 31 Oct 2009 at 4:08 pm
  22. this would only give a muzzle energy of 0.932 Joules
