    Palm Pistol Status Report January 2011

    MAPLEWOOD, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- After months of design and multiple latch safety iterations, the drop test was successfully completed. The test involved dropping the working prototype, loaded with a primed casing, onto each of its six cardinal directions (muzzle, rear of stock, latch side, barrel hinge side and two trigger sides) from a five foot height onto steel plate without the gun firing.

    The gun was dropped under two configurations. These were “normally cocked” and “latch safety engaged” condition. The latch side drop with latch safety engaged proved to be the crux that made the test so difficult and time consuming. An additional latch safety overrotation spring was added which enabled the latch and the latch safety to work independently of each other and proved to be the key to passing the test. This installation required modifications of the latch, latch safety and receiver.

    If someone with truly malicious intent is so close that you can punch them in the head...

    I wonder if that would actually be positive from a self defense standpoint? It's only one shot, and the machines effective range is basically "Oh god, there's a murderer right on top of you! What do you do?!?!?". Kind of the opposite of the features commonly deamonized on firearms these days.

    With one of those in your hand it would be one hell of a punch.

    Is it good enough to kill in your hands and are you good enough answers that question for everyone.

    Apparently a rail and laser are optional http://www.palmpistol.com/?ammoland

    I'm not sure how you could aim the thing with any confidence without a laser, unless it really was pressed up against someone.

    I heard a rumor that there is an option for a modified Soumi drum!


    ETA: Squeezing something 10,000 times to make it discharge 10,000 times, I could do it!

    .
    Having never killed someone with a gun, I honestly have no personal reference to compare lethality too. But yeah, I'm pretty confident an uppercut / non-accidental discharge would be a sufficient fight ender.

    As for "answering for everybody". If I had all the answers, I wouldn't have asked that question in the first place Top.

    Everybody answers for themselves because no one else can.

    If it was dirt cheap, it wouldnt be bad for a backup. Also if a mugger DOES get the upper hand gets close enough to grab you, itd be a good option.
