Is that palm sized? How big is it?

firefighter1635 · 02-04-2013, 04:52 PM

I shoulda watched the video, I see now.

Well, if you screw it onto the bottom of your AR, like he talks about a minute into the video, you have just made a SBR. Kinda not a real good plan.

I'm just wondering when they will classify it as an AOW. Gun that don't look like a gun is an Any Other Weapon, and that don't look like a gun to me.

Its fugly! Personally, I dont like any firearm that is not walnut and blue steel. I know, Im in for it now. Go ahead, blast away.

When I 1st saw it I didn't like it. After viewing the video is seems pretty cool.

I don't think I'd own one but I do have a question. Why in the world would you attach a .22 LR to the forend of a .223 AR15? I saw another video online where they were going back and forth between the ZIP and AR rounds. I just found that odd.

ponycar17 · 02-13-2013, 06:16 PM

I just read that this pistol has a projected life of 5,000 rounds and needs a $15 refurbish kit to return it to 100% (yeah, alright) condition.

Ummm, no...

The tactical derringer huh...my buddies are crazy about it, because they have 10/22's, but for the price, why not get a Buck Mark or Mark III, or 10/22 Charger? It's not very compact compared to some snub nose .22s I just don't see the purpose of it.
