The Knife Pistol

Why all the fuss?
Do you think that we modern 21st-Century humans were the first to be gadget-fetishists if we could afford them...?

Rest assured that all through human history from the moment humans started to use tools, there have been people who just love to have something special that stands out. Nowadays iwe have our I-phones and blackberries and alikes and our special wheels on our special cars or our Guggy-bags for that. And if we in some years will look back on those are they all so very totally practical...?

Call me old fashioned, but I'll take a Mod. 1911-A1 .45ACP :)

Ok people I have to say that if this is the first time you've seen anything like this on the net, you should be proud you get out more. I've read books with illustrations of gunswords, axeguns, gunknives, etc..
No matter how impractical a weapon like this is these days, if you put me in close combat with just one I'm going to do damage. Just a powder blast is enough to blind someone and take the advantage. I love these weapons but I think for this day and age all I need is one of those $10 million drones. :P

If anyone is interested, the knife pistol was priced at $2,875, they would probably accept a few hundred less. The blade is 8-1/2" long.

I think intimidation, not practicality, is a big part of the design ;)
