Yeah the control freaks , lefties and anti gun lobby were working themselves into a hysterical frenzy in the comments section of the Daily Mail when they ran the story last week, And they became apoplectic when some dude commented you could get 22LR versions of a very similar device in Bulgaria and Romania for under £100.

I like it.
Please put me on the gift list too!
What a great idea. If its built as well as it claims it would be a great piece of kit to own.

No real gun person would carry a two-shot, point-shoot, limited to near contact distances, if something more accurate and effective, carrying more rounds, were available. A competent pistol shot carrying a modern compact pocket pistol, such as a Ruger LCP, can draw and accurately fire six shots into the head of a silhouette target from ten metres in about 5 seconds.
What the proliferation of smart phone lookalike guns will do, is get alot of people shot when they reach for their phone instead of following a police officer's instructions! If in the US and a cop says, "Stop! Show me your hands!" you better comply, or it will be hazardous to your health. They are used to dealing with armed persons and have ZERO sense of humour.

Charles, I think you mean no person with access to real firearms would....
Here that packed away would escape a look from most people. Even plastic guns that look like the old colt peacemakers and are clearly plastic have most of us over here in a faint. Limp wristed do gooders have had armed plod taking down kids in cars here.

Even in an area where firearms are denied to civilians, a gadget firearm like this is highly questionable. Any hope for normal acccuracy beyond contact distance is fantasy. The legal consequences for being caught carrying one in a "stop & frisk" search are severe, let alone if you would actually fire it.
I would rather carry a set of Klein telephone linesman's pliers or a dull butter knife knicked off the buffet table than risk carrying one of these.
