This thread may be destined for greatness.

Any thread with .22 Magnum, AC/DC AND a gratuitous toilet shot within two posts is already Hall of Fame worthy .

As for the gun? I can just imagine the ear damage it can cause, this is just one shot from a 4” Model 48.


Two shots at once? Yeesh!

Stay safe.

it reminds me of the “Nosy Cricket”. It’s a 0-5 feet gun, one handed - because you got nowhere to put the other hand. Wish I had some ballistic jelly!

That is awesome! Great thread!

I have been curious about those. My current state won't let us have them though, so I never got too into the issue.

OP, thanks for sharing (and admitting to paying for one . Appreciate the info on them.

I do like that they did it, even if the execution isn't great. Neat idea I think.

CCi .40 grain cheapo stuff!

Hmmm. I wonder if the Thunderstruck is the gun that would actually work well with non-jacketed 45 grain Winchester Dynapoint? The stuff is simply copper washed like common .22 LR ammo.

In my limited experience, Dynapoint doesn't shoot very well in the .22 WMR rifles I've fired it from but it works pretty decent in my convertible Single Sixes. Due to that, I consider it only a revolver cartridge.

Are ya gonna flush it?

No, he's showing what Roto Rooter found.

the barrel is too short. they should have made a 3” or 3.5” gun

or a .22 LR with more barrels

 

[Carl N. Brown]

Hornady Critical Defense .22 Mag 45gr is optimized for short barrels and does well from longer barrels.

That makes the High-Standard 22 WMR derringer I used to have look like a brilliant idea. And yes, it was loud too.

I wonder how hard it would be to have custom barrels made. Thematically a 3" barrel would be great, but 4"or 6" barrels would be fun too.

Hell now that I am thinking about it they should have made it a 9 round capacity with three 3" barrels that gets you 3 volley shots before having to reload. They really could have made that whole S333, 3 shots, 3 seconds, 3 yards marketing work for them. You would just need three hands to pull the trigger.

DANG!!!! I bet a machinist could make a barrel extension and get rich. no rifling needed, just a snug smooth bore to stabilize the bullet!

What I'm inferring doesn't apply to barrel length. What I'm suggesting is the fat profile 45 grain copper washed Dynapoints work well in revolver chambers and seem to work well in revolver barrels.

Time for a test! but the gun is crap… so it’s putting lipstick on crud, still crud!

 

[EMC45]

I bet it echos in the bathroom when you touch one off. A .22 magnum is what I meant.....

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

I'd like to hear the review. I barely even know what the thing is. I've got the damn song stuck in my head now, anyway.

They did a good a job with the song. When i hear AC/DC'S version come on. I crank it up.

The Steve and Seagulls version seemed appropriately demented for the thread...

I mean, it doesn’t take much for me! My spicy level is Black Pepper! lol… I’m getting OLD

still trying to figure how to 2 hand grip this gun. Thinking the old school grab the wrist grip

 

[airfoil]

At the very least, it's easier to carry than this thing.



...and no, I don't know what, why, how, or who.

I must admit, this firearm was never on my radar. However, I present my utmost gratitude for the alert.
