This will either take off, or flop.
Kind of a neat design.

Interesting.....but there is no damn 22LR ammo anywhere so even if the thing is great....what are we going to run through the thing?

Weird isn't it? I don't like the fact you have to get you fingers in front of the muzzle to charge it. There's a rail that you buy to attach it to an AR or M4. Do not see the purpose of that.
That looks too evil for me. I'll pass.

ZiP™ delivers a long sought after vision of “X-box” gamers and advanced weapon enthusiasts not possible until now.

But $200. I can tolerate a lot more silly when these companies don't think that their new unproven product is worth the same as a quality AR. Using 10/22 magazines was smart.
I applaud them for thinking outside of the box...I doubt the damn thing comes in one.
I have no use for it personally.
Okay so its a little plastic .22LR for $199.
I like that people are coming out with new designs but the marketing is trash and the gun offers little outside of the fact that it's different.

In other words it's a toy that fires live ammo?

I think it's a bullpup pistol.... Certainly being marketed towards those that were considering a BB gun though.
I really don't see what this thing is for...

Underneath a SCAR or M4? Seriously? :blink:
I have a vision of a bunch of guys in full battle gear hunkered down behind a wall, waiting for the SDP (Squad Designated Peashooter) to come up to take out the guard squirrel between them and the objective.

Never go full operator.

you attach your gun to your gun, so you can shoot, while you shoot. or something...

The retard in the video has his Eotech all the forward on his SCAR. Why would you attach a .22 to a rifle anyway?

Looks like a waste of time and money. Don't see the need. Pass

This is an interview with the inventor at SHOT.

Seems like a really genuinely nice guy, and I wish him the best. He won't get my cash, but nonetheless. Honestly with some of the retarded ergos and sketchy charging out of the way, I bet he could make it into something that would be pretty cool.

That was classic.
Yeah from the second I saw the video all I can think of was, why? Then I saw the Army guy and I thought thats why us Jar Heads cant wear cammies out in town...so we arent inadvertenly advertising for some stupid shit...

You need a coat hanger for that abortion...
Kinda looks interesting but not worth my money!
It of course could be the pistol that is dropped behind enemy lines for us to use after all of our other guns are confiscated. Kind of like the Liberator pistol from WW2.

Oh wow, yeah man. Feel free to use it. I'm honored.
This Zip gun IS cool IMO, I hope the guy is successful.
At $200 it is a cool novelty. I want to see a design change to the charging system before I'd buy it though. Like a folding lever type handle that collapses in a recess on the left side of the frame & mates flush. It could be spring loaded so you press in & it pivots out. Once charged it snaps back into the slot automatically.
I like the guys selling point that you can "climb all over the gun" since it has no slide...
That'll work great until a new shooter moves to something else that DOES has a slide... like almost every other semi auto handgun out there?

so they had one for sale at the PX today and I couldn't even bring myself to pick it up and look at it.
wouldn't a lot of that be SBR?
Looks like shit
Maybe someone here will try it out and provide a review

Yeah I had to tell the lady that today at the PX she told someone they could put it on the bottom rail of their AR and I said "I wouldnt do that" to the gentlemen you would be making an SBR..correct me if I'm wrong.

You were correct, if you watch the SHOT video, the designer informs that you need a tax stamp. As others here feel, I also can't envision a usage to merit the money & effort of mounting this thing.
Wait...........
Voila!
CCI Mini Mag Shotshells. One hell of a master key.
So what if you put it on the bottom of your SBR? :lol:
What is the point of this? Plinking I guess?

The only useful purpose of attaching this to another rifle is that it would all me to instantly identify other gun owners to avoid.
Can't say I'd get one, but hey, let the creators create!
According to the promo video SOF and Tier 1 guys are going to be running these.(sarcastic voice)

It looks like it'd be fun to plink around with... Depending on the price, I'd probably pick one up.
Worth a look just to see what the heck...
Well... buy one now because they'll be a sought after unique collectible when this company goes under.
My PS90 is already registered SBR. Can I legally mount one to each side rail?
Sa-wheat!
I think when the chin stock (http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/09/03/a-chin-stock-for-ar-15-no-shoulder-needed/) for this comes out, they'll fly off the shelves.
So you gotta pay $250 for the tax stamp and $200 for the gun... I'd rather take a brick to the nuts.

The perfect tactical weapon. Sorry for the bad chop shop.

...let the anti-5.7 comments commence. "Why would you want three of the same caliber?"
I wonder if you can put a laser on it and mount it to your helmet.

Maybe just clearing the controls / sharp edges away from the charging handle? Not the first time I've seen an EOTech in that position on a SCAR, as they're "monolithic" in a sense.
Yo dawg, heard you like shooting... so we put a gun on your gun!
That one video had the word "ZIP!" for every second the video was long...

Any company that markets a .22 using the word "Mission" anywhere in its advertisement is absolutely ridiculous.
If it was marketed as the toy it is, then I'd be more inclined to see what the fuss is about.

I am going to 'fess up and admit that when I see stuff like this I think "Neat, I want one."
I have no idea why.
Pretty smart to use 10/22 mags.
I am not going to get one. I have made some great choices and buys over the years.
But, on the other hand...
in 1987 I thought a .44 DE was a good idea (great hog gun!)
in 1992 I thought a .25 ACP Lorcin was a good idea (you can hide it anywhere!)
in 1998 I thought a Century Arms HK91 clone with a railed aluminum FA receiver was a great idea (I always wanted a HK 91 and you don't need the funky scope mount for this!)

Just watched another review on youtube, I don't know why, but it just occured to me that this thing is a lot larger than I had thought originally.
It looks just as wide as a Glock 26, & bigger even. I didn't realise how big it was.
Well the windowlickers needed a new gun since the Taurus Judge has been out for a while. Looks like this will be it...are they publishing articles in every issue of American Handgunner along with 5 ads per mag yet?

This gun jammed, multiple times, during SHOT.
Ergos are not practical, gun design isn't practical. The goal might have been.
I shoot a lot of 5.7x28mm platforms, and in competition. I know what they are capable of, because I have tested them personally against mediums backed by clay. I never feel a need to defend the platform, nor allocate time to do such.
Here are some pictures I just posted;

What competitions do you shoot a 5.7mm in?
And what has the 5.7mm got to do this new pistol?

I wanted to say something funny about this POS but it has already been done to perfection in the preceding posts
And what has the 5.7mm got to do this new pistol?
I brought 57 up when I posted the P90 with dual side mounted Zips. Please ignore, it was a distraction.
