The World’s Smallest Gun

Although it's not always true, you can generally assume that a gun's size corresponds to its power. There is undoubtedly flexibility in terms of ammunition, barrel size, and other factors. A high caliber hunting rifle will have more punch than a snub-nosed revolver, though. A smaller gun will likely have a smaller caliber, shoot smaller bullets, and maybe do less harm. A gun can eventually become so little that it is unclear how it could possibly do anything. With the SwissMiniGun C1ST, that is the situation.

The pistol is completely capable of firing 2.34 mm caliber shots despite being only two inches long and weighing less than an ounce. The pistol is completely capable of firing 2.34 mm caliber shots despite being only two inches long and weighing less than an ounce. Due to how simple it is to conceal, the gun's barrel, which is less than an inch long, is technically illegal in the US.

In order for them to function and do so securely, they must be handmade to stringent specifications, thus the company creates roughly 100 of them each year specifically to order. If you're interested, they cost over $6,000 (though you can pay more to get one in 18-karat gold).

The speed of a 9 mm bullet is approximately 370 meters per second. Those are more than 1,200 feet per second. For obvious reasons, the overall power of the SwissMiniGun, which fires a bullet at about 400 feet per second, is significantly less spectacular. Its piercing force is less than a foot pound, making it unlikely but not impossible that it could even pierce your eye.
