All right, so the s triple three volley fire thunderstruck
We had a bunch of people asked us to look at it, yes, I think they're expecting us to take a giant steaming dump on it
yeah, that's what they're gonna expect. So we came up to the table and
Asked okay, like tell us what is the purpose to this? And you know, what the guys explanation makes sense
It was reasonable, right? This is not the answer for everyone. But this is an answer to a question that doesn't have any
The design premise for it is basically a
a very simplistic sort of an amateur's level or novice self defense pistol
The I guess the idea came from a self-defense class where one of the one of the the principles that was conveyed
was that a defensive shooting is typically going to be 3 seconds, 3 yards and you get like 3 trigger pulls
Yes
and so based on that theory
what they put together was, well what do we do that is best, in that parameter
Well this thing has 2 barrels and every time you pull the trigger
you're firing 2 shots
It's got an 8 round cylinder
Of 22. Winchester Magnum
Every time you pull the trigger you get 2 shots off
Now, the guy in the booth was talking about having one bullet and one shot
Plucking balls sort of a thing
I don't think I would ever want to deal with 22. Magnum
Like, is that even [???]
I would go with 2 standard cartridges
yeah, but, you have a better chance to hit
They have deliberately designed the trigger to use 2 fingers
The top one has a trigger safety in it, so you can't can't accidentally depress. It's got a dingus, right?
It's got a trigger dingus the idea being the sort of person who is going to use this is going to be more comfortable being
Able to use two fingers to get more, more strength on the turn. I
I would say you know, it's interesting when I first saw it first of all inspired by the mg34
Not really, but the reality is if you grab this quickly get your fingers in there it actually aligns quickly and easily
we know we're clear here because we're at SHOT Show but we'll check it anyway
The reality is this gives someone that doesn't have a lot of physical strength
this actually is quite easy to pull and under duress doing this like literally staple gunning at an adversary
you're actually putting out a lot of rounds pretty quick and it does apply to that idea, three seconds three shots three yards
And actually they've given you a little leeway here that you got 4 press it's eight rounds in the cylinder 2 rounds fired per trigger press
that's interesting
What's good about this is that just from looking at it?
here at the table it appears to be well put together
it does
It appears to be safe
The sights are usable, the sights are decent
It meets, it appears to meet all the basic criteria for a functional decent gun
I would call it a last ditch self-defense pistol and then it becomes a question of is this
the solution for you
and for very meany people the answer is no
but it's important, not just for this but with all things, to consider that
This isn't most guns are not, any gun, that's they're trying to market to everybody is
Skanky like there's something wrong with that
Any gun is a solution to a specific set of circumstances. So does this apply to a valid set of circumstances?
Yeah! Actually it kinda does
I think it does! and this is also designed and weighted
I mean, I'm not a big fan of pocket carry
But this is designed to be able to get this out of pocket quickly, which is part of a self defense pistol
And you know, in a world where a lot of people
Talk about carrying their glocks in their [???] and then throw their jframe in their pocket
This fits that niche in a maybe better way. It's certainly not a worse way and that's an interesting point
And so came here to look at these, kinda go huh and then in terms of hearing it, actually holding it, dry firing it
I've, I mean hell it's not such a bad idea
I'm not carrying it. Well, I might go buy one, but just because of the weirdness and the uniqueness
I would not carry one of these, but that's because i'm not the market that this thing is aiming at
It would be interesting to see what the recoil is like like 22. Magnum I bet you it's mild
reasonably mild
2 of them simultaneously it's probably more than people are going to expect
but is it
Well, the people that this is aimed at don't even have a clue of what to expect
Fair enough. It's probably got recoil more than someone like you and I expects because we're not used to firing two rounds simultaneously
Just pull out the staple gun and go to work. Haha! Essentially
, here's the way-. Here's the question for you
uhuh?
You have to fire 2 bullets with each trigger press
Do you want this? Or do you want that Arsenal double 1911
Oh, no you, I take this one for that Arsenal double1920 easily that's like
the most horrible gun ever
No, I mean it's a compelling argument it's not very expensive in terms of things at
69 as an MSRP on it
and uh,
You know 22 is twenty two.22. Magnum is better than 22. You're getting 2 of them at one
You're getting 8 of them with only 4 trigger presses. Even if you do get a dud round because rim fire
It is probably not gonna be two in the same trigger press
Oh, that's another good point when you mention the arson that's a semi-automatic cycling gun. This being a wheel gun,
Even if one of these rounds were to not fire you just press the trigger again, the cylinder turns and you get 2 more rounds
And you know what like you were saying
I'm not a big pocket buy, but
There it is.
I mean
Old person, not a gun person
in the house got it in the pocket.You go to answer the door at 11:00 p.m
There are worse things to have in your pocket than this. I don't disagree, now as a strong person
I can fire it if I move my fingers down with one hand
but with 2 much easier
I kinda actually, I wouldn't mind getting one of these on loan to do some shooting
you know, I agree, I agree
Maybe that'll happen.so guys that's interesting. You expected us to say something different,
but actually we looked at it played with it and it's kind of cool
Would you take this? Or would you that that uh...
380. lifecard trooper
Yeah, that's it. This definitely would be it.
Alright cool. Thanks for tuning in
