Default World smallest Handgun.

The Swiss Minigun, being marketed as a collector's item, is two inches long, and fires 4.53mm bullets.

On sale in Europe and banned in the U.S. because the Government feels it has no legitimate sporting use.

The cartridges are so tiny, I'd have to use a pair of tweezers to load the thing. What is so rediculous is that the ATFE puts it on the same level as a machine gun. The velocity is 399 fps. I think that's almost Daisy Red Ryder power levels......

If you shoved something 3mm across into someone's chest you could kill them. It's the same with these bullets, they could penetrate the heart.
So, the way I understand it, it is actually the bullet that kills people?!

I thought the same thing. I think you would be better off with a blowgun as a killing instrument.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I would assume that the mass of the projectile is so small that it would not penetrate far enough to do any serious damage. It shoots a less velocity than a BB gun, and the bullet has less mass than a BB. I doubt you could even make it to a vital organ, shooting someone in the eye would do the most damage.
