Nah, 73gr FMJ is still good.Never go below .380 caliber.

The implications for this are interesting. Disarming has just become a little bit harder.

The source may be an issue like it always is but the information is interesting regardless of the source and in keeping with the firearm related theme of the OT.
Sounds like it will cost a lot for a shitty phone and a shitty gun. 2 items that don't make sense to combine
Well the combination of the unusual shape, belt clip built on, the light/laser built into the frame, sort of the whole package. It certainly stands out in a firearm case compared to everything else. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just that it was hyped more than any other compact .380 for minor cosmetic differences. That’s why I believe the term “gimmicky” fits.Gimmicky how? Simply due to the slight curve of the design?
Is anyone here interested in one of these? Seems like a cheesy gimmick to me. Also probably more dangerous to someone handling it not knowing it shoots. Sure, nobody else should have access to it, but can you really trust a guy who can't properly conceal a .380? Not to mention aim and recoil control.I think the anti-gun crowd isn't going to be pleased and I wonder how quickly someone will shoot themselves in the head answering their phone?

This would be more hiding in plain sight. There just appears to be too many drawbacks to this design to make it practical. You'd probably be better able to defend yourself with a good knife. Are there any videos of someone actually drawing and firing this thing at a target?In a true defensive situation pretty much anything can be used by the truly desperate. Now whether it will effective is another matter. Would this firearm be better than being unarmed altogether? Really depends on the situation, the user and how well the gun phone is designed. Overall, you'd be much better served with any of the existing proven firearm designs in a subcompact easily concealable platform.
The more gimmicky the firearm the more potentially unreliable, dangerous to ones self and easily "broken" in my opinion...for what that's worth.

You can get rid of that probably.It's just a .380 derringer with a fold out handle. I think the existing designs are probably better.
If I want an cool gadget gun platform I'm going for the HK MP5K suitcase gun combo.
You need good ammo and aim.It's a .380. Not the ideal self defense round but it will kill someone.
Do you own any guns?It only shoots 3 less rounds than a small revolver. Same caliber, too.
Definitely not a gimmick gun.
Pretty cool isn't it.I want one of those soooooo bad.
Phoning while black will be even more dangerous now.
This seems significant: "SAF founder and executive vice president Alan Gottlieb said, “Not only is this a First Amendment victory for free speech, it also is a devastating blow to the gun prohibition lobby. For years, anti-gunners have contended that modern semi-automatic sport-utility rifles are so-called ‘weapons of war,’ and with this settlement, the government has acknowledged they are nothing of the sort.”On another firearm related note....
