Another thought came to mind about the Derp Gun:* It doesn't look that much like a gun. It kinda sorta looks like a pepper spray (or other gas) projector. And that might get people shot.
One of the good things about a traditional gun is that it looks like a gun. The bad guy who you've had to draw on knows that you have a gun and it's pointed at him. A lot of bad guys have a deep-seated aversion to contracting a sudden case of bullet wounds, which is why confrontations often end with the miscreant beating feet.
If, on the other hand, the bad guy doesn't recognize your gun as a gun, you might end up having to shoot him. Which, for you, isn't exactly a good outcome (though better than what it could be). Better for you if he runs away.**

* Writing three posts about a gun that is a toolroom prototype might seem a bit much, I suppose. But a term such as "Derp Gun". is too much fun not to use.
** If he shits his pants and screams, even better.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
It looks like a Taser to me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should offer a longer, protruding barrel version.
A cocking noise may help as well.
The problem is none at night, though: The flashlight itself will keep an aggressor's eye from looking much at the gun itself anyway.
