From what I read online, these are pretty pricey collectors items. The pistol alone will run you about $5,000 and another $70 per bullet.
Bullet weight is 3grains and it travels at about 650fps. Muzzle energy is only 3 foot pounds. I never thought there would be a weaker round then a .22 or a .17
Kinda ugly huh?

Better be aiming for the eyeball - and hope their eye is open at the time.
Of course, I regularly get grit in my eyes when working under my car, so I guess this may not be much different.

I think a bb or pellet gun would be more effective personally. Might be nice to have for a conversation piece but that is about it.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

More effective just to throw the gun at the BG...it would do more damage!

I was thinking that throwing a 9mm round at a BG would be more effective haha.

At that price for the ammo, I hope they have reloading dies for it. And some reloading tweezers for handling the bullets, while we're at it. 
I struggle to think of any practical application for this round. Penetrating a half inch of pine board isn't all that impressive, and it seems like it would be somewhat analogous to a bee-sting if fired at a person. Doesn't sound too effective unless you're hunting garden snakes.

Is this hard to understand? Then why does it get unintelligible to some people when 5 little words are changed?

Interesting and amazing little gun. I think it said the guy was a watchmaker......no doubt.
The article also said "it wasn't widely accepted".......I wonder why.
Turn the election's in 2014 to a "2A Revolution". It will serve as a 1994 refresher not to "infringe" on our Second Amendment. We know who they are now.........SEND 'EM HOME.
