This video's subject is: How to kill an insanely successful company 101.
There were many shots fired this video and none of them out the zip gun
yo I'm not kidding when I say I knew a guy who conceal carried one of these when they first came out "ItS nOT ShaPEd LiKe a GUn So NoBODy WiLl KnOW YoU ARe CarRyINg!!"
This thing feels liike a gun designed by someone who has no idea what guns are.
It's in Roblox Phantom Forces as a secondary weapon and it's objectively the worst performing gun. I don't even know why they added it, it's pathetic even as a humiliation weapon.
So what Nerf darts are compatible?
Nobody will notice the gun, because the bullet will come out of your palm
this thing looks like someone with no sense of scale tried to draw the stealth pistol from Deus Ex
It's like someone tried designing a sci-fi weapon and either got lazy or had a form of ADD and pushed it out even it wasn't finished.
This thing is fucking hilarious to me. Especially the fact that you can do this. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/922/2990a747-d1e2-435e-9d7a-bf042d724745/image.png What do you expect to gain from slapping a comically unreliable .22 on the bottom of a rifle?
I'm usually a fan of weird unconventional shit but this thing just looks like someone tried to solve a problem nobody had in a way that nobody would be satisfied with. Just the form factor alone screams "this thing is a piece of shit and the only reason you should ever own one is to say that you do but if you ever try to actually shoot it, you'll curse yourself for ever thinking it was anything but the worst idea ever". Actually, it reminds me of the time I won an airsoft gun at the yearly funfair and it was one of those cheap ones that looked like a bootleg AK but you could remove the barrel, the magazine and the stock, which was one plastic piece including the pistol grip and I would always pretend like removing any of these parts would make it a new gun, like the gun with everything was an assault rifle, without the magazine it was a sniper rifle, without the barrel it was a submachine gun, without the stock it was a pistol, etc. The zip 22 is like just having the receiver part of that cheap airsoft gun except even smaller and even more unwieldy-looking (somehow).
its not even the gun that killed it, the decision to make the gun was the problem.

Sounds plausible. Considering how barebones the Zip 22 is as a handheld gun, it was almost certainly supposed to be a weapons platform, like an AR-15 receiver or something except complete garbage. Can't believe the guy running the show sold all of the tooling for their successful single action revolvers to make this piece of crap.

I recall a gun store around here (it was really more of a doomsday prepper store that sold guns, too) that had like two of these or something similar in stock and one of the employees was explaining how to hold it to some guy and I remember thinking "wtf is that thing"
I've seen videos of the Zip gun in the past and this is by far the most success I've seen someone have trying to actually fire successive rounds through it. Almost makes you forget about how absurd the whole package is, right up until he has to fight with the recoil springs to recock it by putting his finger right next to the fucking muzzle.
Well you can "gain" 10 years in jail and a 10 grand fine because doing that without registering it as an NFA item is a federal felony, and the NFA paperwork will not only cost more than the gun did, but will take so long to be filed the gun will probably have died by the time it's finished.
Yeah but that's because the NFA is fucking retarded.

Surely you jest. The Punt Gun was so effective for its purpose it was banned for fear it would cause too many species of bird to go extinct
ugh the zip gun looks so fucking uncomfortable to use
