It could be a good intimidation tool for stick ups. All it takes is one shot so most people will be scared enough to comply as they would when faced with any other gun or weapon.
On the flip side, the barrel doesn't last fore more than one or two shots if you're lucky. You can't reload fast and have a single shot. I can see it being a useful tool for an assassination. But that single shot better count otherwise you're either captured, dead or you lose the target.
- sparky_ 8y agoThat's actually a fair point, I hadn't considered this angle. Although I suppose it's not a new danger per se, I'm sure people have robbed convenience stores using Airsoft guns and similar.
- DanAndersen 8y agoIs the "proof of function" really important? Most muggers and store thieves don't find themselves needing to fire warning shots, despite the existence of toy guns, due to most people's rational risk aversion.
- throwawayi8 8y agoI think you’ve been able to do this with toy guns for a while now..
- lozaning 8y agoWouldn't you be way better off buying one of those realistic airsoft guns and painting the tip? Plus in many jurisdictions should you ever be caught, crimes committed with a gun require serving more years.
