Guy Hits Target from 1,000 Yards… with a Revolver

This guy is the king of using a revolver as a sniper rifle. In the video below, shooter Jerry Miculek uses his revolver to pop a balloon with a special edition 9mm Smith & Wesson revolver from an impressive 1,000 yards away.

According to Jerry, he has to aim about 150 feet above the target due to the drop of the bullet during its 4-second travel. Apparently this is a world record. To get an idea of how far away it actually is, watch him drive downrange to the target.

All I know is that this is one guy you just can’t get away from. You could be in the next town and he would probably hit you. Especially if you were holding a balloon.

Drill Gun Screwdriver Bangs Bolts In

A couple of months ago we saw a handgun that looks like an electric drill. Here’s the complete opposite, a electric screwdriver that looks like a handgun. Those poor shelves and cabinets won’t know what hit ‘em.

The 3.6-volt electric screwdriver comes with six drill bits that fit in the revolver chambers. Hopefully they fit snugly or else you might find yourself firing blanks one day.

Swiss Mini GunIt’s size is about a quarter of a regular person’s palm, and while it shoots real (mini) bullets, it won’t hurt upon impact. Heck, even BB guns can do more damage than these babies.

They’re 100% Swiss-made and their workmanship is exemplary, from the looks of it. They’ve even got their own miniature holsters to keep them handy, just in case the owner wants to shoot a Lilliputian. That is, if they existed.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t meet the U.S. Factoring Criteria for weapons so SwissMiniGun won’t be able to ship them out to the States. People from elsewhere can order them online for 6,300 Swiss France (~ $6,422 USD). Oh, did I mention that they’re also hella expensive?
