The Future of Pocket Pistols?

Be sure to look at the CAD work and video on how the chambering action is accomplished. This design makes possible a nearly full-length barrel in a micro-sized package resulting in unparralleled accuracy and power.

This is a good nigger-dispatcher to hell.

I applaud the use of CAD for this green use of ridding the planet of predator apes.

You can rest assured no niggers had anything to do with this technology (as if this even needs being said).

It looks like a nice small gun, but can someone tell me what is so revolutionary about it? I believe there are even smaller weapons than that.

This is the Boberg XR9-Shorty, even smaller. It is still a prototype, I think.

It looks like a nice small gun, but can someone tell me what is so revolutionary about it? I believe there are even smaller weapons than that.It's not the size of the weapon that makes it unique, it's the fact that it contains a barrel of longer length than is normally used in a weapon of the same size. That makes this new gun more powerful than a typical gun of the same size and caliber.

A normal auto pistol chambers a round by pushing it forward from a magazine up a feed ramp into the chamber. This new design has the chamber located pretty much right above the magazine, so more barrel length fits in the gun. The rounds are chambered by pulling them backward out of the magazine, lifting them upward, and then pushing them forward into the chamber.

Here's a short video that shows how it works: http://bobergengineering.com/video_page.htm

It's a very interesting concept, though we'll have to wait and see how robust and reliable the mechanism is.
