Altor Corp Single Shot 9mm Pistol - Safety Considerations

[@n1mrod109]

commercial production of a zip gun is certainly a choice

Bro this is the kind of content I wanna see, obscure weapons is a rarely touched subject. Keep it up man

6:10 the only gun in existence where a design flaw results in a better trigger pull.

One thing i would add is if in a scuffle or close close shooting the gun can be rendered useless by your attacker by them simply grabbing it. The trigger will keep your barrel locked in place as long as it is down and in the fire position, keeping it a usable weapon. However, if someone were to do the natural thing of try and grab your gun, as soon as you try and use your weapon by pulling the trigger, you are dooming yourself, as you will unlock the barrel for them to then twist it so the firing pin can no longer strike the primer, or worse, just rip off your barrel entirely. Its actually less effective to use in the situation youd likely use it in

This thing always looked like someone made a real gun out of a hot glue gun. When this first came out I contacted Altor. Not because I had any interest in this firearm, but because I saw some potential in the "survival" market, which was all the rage at the time. A very inexpensive, single shot 9mm carbine similar to this might grab some attention. Maybe with a little more thought put into the trigger mechanism (cockable striker and a more traditional trigger), sights directly on the barrel and a wire frame or injection molded stock. It would break down very small, lightweight package and might be a fun plinker/survival/hiking gun. MSRP them for around 180 and a lot of people will think: why not? It would have some practical use, as opposed to this which has none. But Altor responded saying they had no interest in the idea.

We need to get you some Ring of Fire guns!

The handle portion of the gun looks like a car charger. I would use a derringer over this clunky design.
