World's Smallest Gun

The Swiss mini gun C1ST, produced in Switzerland is considered the world's smallest working revolver. The revolver measures 5.5 cm long, 3.5 cm tall and 1 cm wide, weighing only 19.8g. Ammunition is a 2.34mm rimfire, also produced by Swiss Mini Gun. There is a key ring holster that comes with the gun when it is bought and can be clipped to a belt loop.

However, the fact that a firearm this tiny works makes gun regulators quite nervous. For instance, the bullets are so minis cues that firing a cartridge essentially smashes the bullet, and being that it fits in the palm of your hand or inside your shoe, it's also highly concealable. Many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, forbid the importation of the Swiss Mini Gun due to the ease of concealing the revolver.

Swiss Mini Gun is recognized by Guinness World Records as making the world's smallest working revolver, their model C1ST. It is a double-action revolver and has all the same features as are found on normal-sized revolvers. Making the parts and assembling the gun requires the skill of a master craftsman, all of which are trained in jewelry and Swiss watchmaking. Thus, about only 100 are handmade each year, with each order customized to the client's specifications.

The analysis of the gun's mechanics shows that while concerns over the C1ST's ability to inflict physical harm might be a bit higher. It takes at least one foot-pound of force to inflict a penetrating wound, like a gunshot injury. When fired at close range, a projectile with less than a foot-pound of force can still penetrate the skin -- especially the eye.
