Now here's a strange looking 380
http://bondhusarms.com/
It's a two barrel gun that looks like something from Home Depot http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...us-arms-cl380/ I really don't get how it works. It might be neat. Guess we have to wait for a video.

$800 for only two shots of .380? Pass!

Rube Goldberg fingershredder and bone-breaker
A laughable Rube Goldberg fingershredder and bone-breaker no one would buy or shoot, possibly designed by the Banjo playing kid in Deliverance.
Notice there is no rifling in this contraption. Looks like someone is having a good laugh. |

There is rifling, as rifling is required on handguns.
It appears this gun folds, and possibly springs open to fire. |

its not the rifling or lack of it that makes this contraption a Rube Goldberg pistol
I can't see any rifling. But OK, I will concede there may be rifling.
But its not the rifling or lack of it that makes this contraption a Rube Goldberg finger-shredder and bone-breaker. I still think very few people would buy it, let alone shoot it, and I still think it must have been designed by the Banjo playing kid in Deliverance. I still think this a joke post and not a real pistol…. |

$800 for a .380 derringer? Even one with a LAZER!
I'm dubious.

Reminds me of the single shot palm gun that was going to be The Answer for Senior Citizen Self Defense a few years ago. I once had a derringer but traded it off when I realized I was sometimes actually carrying it and depending on two shots.

Unless I'm looking at it from the wrong angle, there's a good chance the ATF is going to call that an AOW.

Eight hundred dollars? I was thinking maybe one would be fun in the $200 range, but $800 is insane! That's HK money for, as OP said, something that looks like it was made at Home Depot. I'm almost thinking a bored retired guy invented it with leftover pipe segments from a plumbing job.

Now we wait and watch it declared an NFA item as a disguised weapon, as it doesn't look like a gun in the traditional sense of the word. And no one will care, as it's an ugly overpriced 2-shot Derringer.

And any manufacturer that prototypes a gun like this without a ruling from ATF would be insane! I'm sure it's a regular handgun.

any Anti-Gravity devices, perpetual motion machines?
It seems a lot of posters are totally convinced they are really looking at a legitimate firearm prototype from some reputable manufacturer.
Just because someone puts something on a web page on the internet does mean it really exists or is even a real weapon. A company called Bondhus possibly manufactures and markets Allen wrenches and some other tools. There is nothing anywhere about them being any type of a legitimate gun manufacturer or maker. Is Bondhus is even a real gun making entity? Are there any Anti-Gravity devices, perpetual motion machines, or cars that run on pure water, or any other protoypes we should look at also? If so, please feel free to post any interesting URLs! |

Don, are you saying they set up a booth at the SHOT show for a fake gun that doesn't actually exist and then tricked The Firearm Blog into writing about their made-up gun? Where are you getting all this?

Reminds me of the single shot throw away pistols air dropped into France during WWII. I didn't know zip guns were coming back into style. (LOL)

I will hold out for the 45acp version. Or maybe one that can shoot 454, 45, and 410
Seriously I rather have a 5 shot 22mag NAA. For $800 I can have 3 NAAs and some ammo |
