Now here's a strange looking 380

Rube Goldberg fingershredder and bone-breaker

A laughable Rube Goldberg fingershredder and bone-breaker no one would buy or shoot, possibly designed by the Banjo playing kid in Deliverance.

Notice there is no rifling in this contraption. Looks like someone is having a good laugh.

Where did you get that from? Like Bill said, rifling is required on handguns, otherwise it would be an AOW; making the gun with no rifling would not only neuter its ballistics, but it wouldn't save them much money due to the extra regulations on manufacturing and distributing NFA firearms. And no way is someone going to go through the process of buying an NFA item for that thing...
 
its not the rifling or lack of it that makes this contraption a Rube Goldberg pistol

I can't see any rifling. But OK, I will concede there may be rifling.

But its not the rifling or lack of it that makes this contraption a Rube Goldberg finger-shredder and bone-breaker.

I still think very few people would buy it, let alone shoot it, and I still think it must have been designed by the Banjo playing kid in Deliverance.

I still think this a joke post and not a real pistol….
 
Reminds me of the single shot palm gun that was going to be The Answer for Senior Citizen Self Defense a few years ago. I once had a derringer but traded it off when I realized I was sometimes actually carrying it and depending on two shots.
 
i kinda like it, not 800$ like, but id pick it up for 350

lol, they say it the biggest revolutionary conceal carry gun in 100 years, they are very proud of this one
 
Eight hundred dollars? I was thinking maybe one would be fun in the $200 range, but $800 is insane! That's HK money for, as OP said, something that looks like it was made at Home Depot. I'm almost thinking a bored retired guy invented it with leftover pipe segments from a plumbing job.
 
Now we wait and watch it declared an NFA item as a disguised weapon, as it doesn't look like a gun in the traditional sense of the word. And no one will care, as it's an ugly overpriced 2-shot Derringer.

Unless I'm looking at it from the wrong angle, there's a good chance the ATF is going to call that an AOW.

I assume you're referring to the fact that it seems to be a disguised weapon and therefore it might be considered an AOW?

It's really hard to tell if there's rifling or not in those pictures. And there's no way any manufacturer is going to design a smooth-bore pistol. It just doesn't many sense at all. If the BATFE decides it's an AOW it will be because they decide it's a disguised weapon, not because it doesn't have rifling.

Yep. It's an arbitrary determination, but it generally covers guns that don't look like guns.
 
And any manufacturer that prototypes a gun like this without a ruling from ATF would be insane!

Common sense isn't always the strong point of gun manufacturers. Taurus had a bit of an oopsie with a 28-gauge revolver they showed at SHOT a couple of years back.
