Almost a gun

Every now and then there are mainstream creators that build awesome things that are almost guns, or are guns, but aren’t firearms.

Like this loosely-named .50 cal nutcracker.

Not a gun under Canadian law, it’s an over-the-barrel air dart.

This is a gun, but not a “firearm” according to federal law. It’s in the separate category of “antique firearms,” even though it was made recently.

It shoots 6mm BBs using ground up matchstick powder.

Always wanted a Tommy. At least I can have a tiny Tommy.

Also “antique firearms,” because they are 2mm pinfire, rather than rimfire or centerfire.

Little people like to shoot too!

Who wants a semi-auto rubber band-powered cardboard gun? Meee!

I love how they made the trigger rack the “bolt.”
