I wish I knew.Why is that an article?
Kinda my thoughts in post#4, albeit, not that eloquently. To be more to the point, just stupid.I can't help myself. I feel compelled to actually look at the firearm.
Sheesh! This thing is just too ridiculous. Somebody should head over to Maxim and roast them. Unfortunately, I don't see a comments section on that page to which I can post.
- There are legal problems. (The designer is from Croatia, working from Sweden, so maybe I should ignore this aspect.)
- The shotshells in the mockup were mocked up by someone who has never seen a shotshell up close.
- The grip is covered with enough protrusions and sharp edges and is at such an angle and of such a shape that I would hesitate to fire this thing even if I were wearing the heaviest leather welding gloves.
- The sights were conceived by someone who has never shot a firearm with iron sights.
One positive note: Congrats to the designer who has managed to go viral with this POS. That's good branding at work. There may not be any substance to it and it may do nothing to make the world a better place but he's probably going to make a few bucks off the fact that this garbage made it into Maxim and other places online.

Looks like a handheld vacuum
No, it's not real. I posted a link to the designers web site. It's purely a design exercise intended to show off his creativity and perhaps garner him some more work designing graphical elements in games and other things that take some imagination, some artistic talent, and some computer skills.That’s exactly what I thought when I saw it. This garbage can’t be real!
Would look pretty cool as a sidearm for judge dredd but as for now in 2018, he should just slap a dirt devil sticker on the side of itNo, it's not real. I posted a link to the designers web site.

I've seen it in multiple places, though. It's gone viral. I just hope nobody makes the mistake of thinking it's intended to ever become a real product. It's definitely not.
