Has anyone ever seen or shot one of these?They seem to be hard to find.
My Downsizer WSP is a money-maker.
Fire off a .45 acp from the palm of your hand, with the muzzle a mere fraction of an inch from your trigger finger.
My standing offer is I will pay you $5.00 if you can fire, reload, and fire again in under 60 seconds. If you go over 60 seconds you owe me $10.00.
I demonstrate how to use the ball-detent release for the tip-up muzzle, and the proper method of employing the tactical reloader device (usually a BIC stick pen).
I've only paid out twice in over a hundred times. The WSP has a trigger pull that is greater than any of the strain guages my FFL has (max = 20#). My guess is 30# +. If that's not enough to slow you down, the "recoil" will.
Just about everybody who has fired the thing has uttered the same 2-word phrase immediately afterwards -- "Day Yumm!" [needs a good ol' boy accent for best rendition] That phrase is universally accompanied by a shaking/waving of the hand while simultaneously massaging the heel of the palm.
OK, I got the thing because I had some fun money after a good night of poker, and a long life of little to no brains. The thing is accurate, grouping (if you can call it that) under 6 inches out to maybe 12 inches. After that things widen up rapidly. Calling this a belly gun is being very honest about where you place it before pulling the trigger.
It's only use is as a last-ditch item, but between the alleged power of the .45 acp round coming out of the casing, and the damage inflicted by the muzzleblast of hot gasses, it ought to get the BG's attention.
One last thing. The literature that comes with it has the following warning in the largest type font: "Do NOT fire more than five (5) times in any 24-hour period." Experience suggests that severe blunt-force trauma injury may resullt.
stay safe.
