元はAPのようです。
ミネアポリスの小さな会社AFT Incorporatedは、究極の自衛武器としてクレジットカードサイズの武器を販売する事を決定した。
市場価格は100ドル(1万1千円)になるだろうという。
発売側では、この銃は究極の自衛武器になるだろうと期待している。
もし、誰かにおそわれたとき、この銃を使うことで逃げ出す時間を稼げるというのだ。
この銃は口装銃(弾を前から込めるシステムをとっている)のため、弾倉も必要なく、火薬もつかっていない。使われるのは鉄製の弾である。
この銃を開発したパトリック・ティール氏によると、カード銃の威力は22口径の拳銃以上のものではないが、
より多くの傷を相手につけることができるため、標的となったものは多く血を流す事になるだろうという。
厳密にいえば法律的にはこの銃は銃火器とは認められないが、ティール氏や発売側では
銃携帯許可証のない人間には、一切売るつもりはないという。

これ、多分空港とかでチェックし切れない気が。。。
発売側の思惑通りの使い方をしてもらえるのか、かなり疑問におもいます。
でも、見た目のかっこよさはかなりのものですねー。
検問をすりぬける武器が市販される恐ろしさを野放しにする当局が、
テロリストの脅威を喧伝して、他国に攻め入るこの矛盾! 納得いかない!

Gun Shop Debuts Credit-Card-Sized Shotgun
MINNEAPOLIS -- In a new twist on the idea of concealed weapons, a local gun maker and gun shop are debuting a new type of firearm: one that could almost fit in your wallet.
It's a two-shot weapon made from a piece of metal the height and width of a standard credit card, and about a half-inch thick. Each barrel fires seven standard steel BBs. It will retail for $100.
"This I can see being the ultimate self-defense weapon," said Mark Koscielski, owner of Koscielski's Guns and Ammo, the only gun shop in Minneapolis.
Koscielski and Patrick Teel, who makes the guns in suburban Blaine at his company AFT Incorporated, gave The Associated Press a preview on Tuesday, a day before they planned to officially unveil the device.
They said the guns are meant to be used for close-range self-defense and wouldn't be effective as offensive weapons.
"They are very effective at five to 10 feet. They're absolutely useless at 20 feet," Teel said.
The credit card-sized shotgun is a muzzleloader, meaning it doesn't use shotgun shells. The user has to measure out some gunpowder, pour it in each barrel, drop seven BBs in each barrel, and tamp in a small wad of paper. A knob on one end serves as a safety, and two buttons set into a hole in the body are the electrical triggers. Each barrel fires with a loud pop.
Teel said the main value of the new gun is that it gives the owner a chance to get away from an attacker.
"This is no more deadly than a .22," Teel said. "But the difference is you have multiple wounds, which means you'll try to get away quicker, and it will cause more pain. ... There will be more blood, which the cops will be able to see."
The new guns don't count as firearms under federal regulations because they're muzzleloaders, Koscielski and Teel said. It's illegal to carry one without a permit for a concealed handgun, they said, and they both pledged not to sell them to anyone without valid identification and either a carry permit or a purchase permit.
Thirty-seven states have laws that require officials to issue concealed carry permits to qualified applicants and nine others have laws that give officials some discretion over whether someone gets a permit. Only Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska and Wisconsin lack a law allowing some form of concealed carrying of guns.
Koscielski was widely credited with coining the term "Murderapolis" when the city's homicide rate shot up in the 1990s. He's run unsuccessfully for mayor, fought zoning battles to stay in business and been investigated by federal agents.
Koscielski conceded that gun opponents are likely to criticize the new devices. But he said they're legal, will set off metal detectors and are readily identifiable.
"We all have a right to defend ourselves," he said.
At least one gun salesman was skeptical of the weapon's self-defense value. Mike O'Brien, a gun salesman at Joe's Sporting Goods in St. Paul, wasn't familiar with the new devices, but said muzzleloading is a "slow and tedious" process.
"Us guys here would consider something like that useless," said O'Brien. "A .177 caliber BB is ballistically a joke, OK? I'm sure it could cause injury and damage, but as a self-defense weapon, no. Not to anyone familiar with firearms."
Guns that small have been around in various styles for a long time, and some have become curiosities and collectors items, but have failed as weapons, said O'Brien.
"It might do damage to eyes, that sort of thing. But serious damage to a 200-pound drug-crazed evildoer, no -- it'd just make them mad," he said.
