World's Smallest Gun Now In Gold and Diamonds, Kills Just the Same

In what is a huge step forward toward the acceptance of garden gnomes and Russian mafia tiny assassins in the NRA, the SwissMiniGun company has created a gold and diamond version of their 0.7-ounce mini-revolver, which is still only 2.16-inch long, and can fire real 4.53-millimeter caliber bullets at 399 feet per second, with a range of 367 feet. That's fast enough to be deadly at close range so yes, cute and small bling-bling can kill. Full gallery and pricing after the jump.

The Swiss MiniGun costs almost $6,000, but the diamond-studded 18-carat gold version will get you up to $60,000. [Swissminigun via Daily Mail]

SwissMiniGun Not Intimidating, But Could Still Kill You

The SwissMiniGun is a 2.16-inch replica of a Colt Python, and it's a real gun that shoots tiny bullets that are just .35 inches long. This miniature Swiss-made revolver and its ammunition are painstakingly crafted using watchmaking technology.

Looks like the little shooter could do some damage, propelling that tiny slug at 426.5 f/sec. out of the muzzle. Wonder if it has a kick to it. No word on pricing. – Charlie White
