Well, we have a Llama Micromax, aquired at a country auction from a guy named 'Doc Thomas'. .380 Auto, 7 round capacity. Very reminiscient of a 1911.
Well, anyhow, today I went out to fire it, as I had not really gotten a chance to.
The best I can say about it is that it is almost reliable. I fired 35 rounds, and there was only one failure to feed, and no other failures of any sort.
Of course, I managed to hit the pop cans I was shooting at (at a distance of less than 20 feet) only twice. Not twice per can, either. Twice total.
It has a bit of 'hammer bite' that left me bleeding, and the slide is the stiffest I have every pulled.
I emptied a mag in about three seconds, and, amazingly enough, my shots managed to stay inside of a four foot diameter around the can.
Otherwise, it shoots completely randomly, usually varying between 3 and 4 inches in any direction, though I saw as much as 6. At less than 20 feet.
It doesn't handle recoil all that well; it leaves one's palm sore, and snaps up quite rapidly.
THe muzzel flash is enormous, comparable to what one might see in a video game. The casings land pretty randomly around the gun.
My conclusion: an awesome home-defense weapon, as long as you don't have to fire it.
