Would this design be technically feasible as a firearm?

What's the point of the things that stick out on the top and on the back of the grip? Also, most phones are less than 9mm thick.

It's literally a firearm. It was sold for years. The company went out of business. What a stupid fucking question.

he's literally holding a normal phone and recording with it though so what's the point of your post?

Obviously the idea of a "disguised" gun has existed since practically the dawn of guns, and once we switched to self-contained cartridge systems a lot of experimentation became feasible and has happened over the many decades since. But disguise stuff kinda unavoidably compromises that actual gun aspects, they're much more awkward to shoot and control, often perform worse due to compromises in barrel length, etc etc. And of course it's instantly obvious it's a gun if you actually take it out. Since it's not a big deal to CC an actual gun disguise ones have never had much market success.
>>64833472
>he's literally holding a normal phone and recording with it though so what's the point of your post?
Yeah this too of course, though probably OP is just trying to "subtly" push some conspiracy faggotry about how his murder was actually ok. But to the extent disguise guns have ever been a thing it's mostly been in some insanely limited assassination role by spooks in the cold war and shit, not a civvie thing.

Mindless gatekeeping.

And so much more fun! owo!

>>64833097
>Also, most phones are less than 9mm thick.
In all seriousness, most phones these days are in cases, sometimes pretty damn thick cases. Additionally phones have gone pretty fucking in typical size, a lot of stuff going into "phablet" territory, and there are those foldable phones that are pretty thick too. A samsung Galaxy Fold is 161 x 63 x 17 mm when closed and 161 x 118 x 7 mm open for example. For comparison an LCP Max is 132 x 100 x 20mm.

So if we're taking this seriously, it'd probably be easier to design a better phone gun now in 2026 then in 2016 and still have it be in a size ballpark that wouldn't attract attention, simply because what people expect to see in size has increased so there is more room to play with. Particularly if using a lighter cartridge like 380. But I still don't see a market argument for it, vs just getting a holster that is the disguise for something more normal.

>so what's the point
Finding some justification for bootlicking.
>>
>>64834020
Oof. But also yeah, the rise of cases in part driven by how crazy fucking expensive big phones have gotten so people armor them up also means even more room to work with. Like, going over to an iphone if someone gets one of those otterboxes or something now it's 175 x 91 mm x 17 mm (6.9 x 3.6 x 0.66"), which is legit approaching or exceeding standard compact gun dimensions. Like a Walther PPS M2 is 160x111x25mm, a Ruger EC9s is only 152x114x22mm. Wild how fucking fat stuff is now.

That's the ideal conceal IC9 or IC380, a real gun you can buy right now.

I think it was a bad shoot but spics killing a jew doesn't bother me either
>>
>>64834330
>but spics killing a jew doesn't bother me either
Anon, it should absolute not just bother you but seriously concern you when the spics in question are employed by the federal government and the jew is a US citizen engaging in constitutionally protected activity and then the federal government turns around and attacks the 2A afterwards. I mean sure, if it was some rando border shit whatever. But the circumstances matter. If a couple of rando browns attack us we can at least try to engage in self defense without concern. Might or might not work, but society has our back or at least we won't get in any real trouble. But if you defend yourself against feddies even if the feddies were criminals they will try hard (and probably succeed) at fucking you no matter what.

Don't want fed organizations developing institutional habits and precedent around shit like that. They're not all retards, they never START with sympathetic victims if they can help it, but they never STOP either until forced to. Any power the federal government gets under any circumstances is never ever returned to the people except via a lot of pain.

In a sane world, assaulting federal agents, impeding lawful activity of said agents, and intentionally trying to bait them into a response would not be "constitutionally protected" activities

t. James. The guy who made this gun came down to New Orleans and he is an absolute train wreck. We went out to dinner at Rum House when he came down (I think I bought). I wouldn;t remember him if I saw him, but I think of Milton from Office Space. I knew when I met him they were going out of business. First, he drove his camper down from, I think, Minnesota, to New Orleans and stayed at some RV park outside of town. He left his wife in the RV to film with me and - his idea - an actor. Because I wasn't asking for money (other than $500 for a camera guy), his splurge was a Daniel Craig James Bond impersonator he flew in from Florida because he wanted us to do some turbocringe James Bond reenactment where we save this promo model he also hired for the shoot. I had the idea to make it a little more fun/less gay and do drunk driving goggles instead and a good time was had by all. He apparently blew a bunch of money on trying to make a 9mm version (which SUCKED to shoot) and ended up outkicking his coverage and went out of business. Oh yeah that and he got a huge hospital bill because almost as soon as he gets back to MN, he runs into a deer, full speed, in a Honda Goldwing. Something about the visual of a chubby old man being flung from his boomer touring bike after hitting a large herbivore still gets me. Anyways, sad he went out of business because the .380 version is fun. I still have mine.
>>
>>64833073
Your bottom picture is an example of it being done.
Wasn't a good gun, and didn't sell well, so they went out of business.

>>64833082
I believe it would avoid being an AOW because you would need to unfold it into a 'pistol shape' like that to fire it. But otherwise, the $200 cost on AOWs just went away (and on SBRs, SBSs, Mufflers), so that stuff is a bit less restricted now.

>>64833960
>his murder
desu it feels more like manslaughter to me. Not a guy I'd miss and I want more deporations, but it looks like they fumbled handling him. They didn't communicate to each other properly, and they overreacted.
I do want to see what an investigation says though.

>>64834015
If you dressed it up to look like it was in a case, and then used like .30 Super Carry or .32 Auto to mak it a hair slimmer, it could look more convincing. I was gonna joke about going full #YOLO and make it .30 Carbine, just a roaring monster with keyholing bullets, but I don't know if you could make the chamber strong enough in that kind of space.
>>
>>64834839
Look man, I think his shooting is pretty dubious looking, but if you go and fuck with feds when they're making an arrest, get in a shoving match in them, what do you think they'll do? Then they realize you have a gun, what are they gonna do then?

The end result here feels lacking, but he wasn't "just protesting," he did something pretty obviously stupid and dangerous, if they hadn't (probably negligently) shot him, they'd have booked him and he'd be awaiting trial. If he had just stood by the side holding a sign, and had a gun visible in a sling over his shoulder, he'd probably not have been even interacted with.

>and then the federal government turns around and attacks the 2A afterwards
Kash Patel is a fucking faggot and weasel, I agree with that.

>Don't want fed organizations developing institutional habits and precedent around shit like that.

Basically true, but I don't buy the narrative that he WASN'T inviting himself to getting detained, it just went fucking wrong.
>>
>>64835232
Entirely understandable.

>>64835237
Yeah, it's not like they grabbed him on random or shit, he went looking for a conflict.

NTA, remember to yell at your congressman to get a body cams mandate moving, an officer's POV would have been of immense value here. If there's one thing we can draw out of MN, it's that ICE does not fucking train on street cop work, and that's probably a bad thing. Throw in the not illegal but still phenomenally unwise decision to bring your CCW into a situation where you ARE going to get your ass arrested and searched, and here we are.

A reasonable person should have known that he was not a threat at the moment he pulled the trigger the first time, the second time, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time, the seventh time, the eighth time, the ninth time, or the tenth time. He no longer had a weapon. "I was scared" is not an excuse.

Anon, it was really unnecessary (and maybe even criminal) that he was shot and killed, but if you go and try to shove feds engaging in an arrest, what the fuck do you think they're gonna do? Do you not think they'll react even worse if you've got a gun on you when you try to do that?
Alex Pretti is not without fault in this situation by any means, even if you think his killing was unjustified and criminal.

>>64839315
Could be that he's a retard with shit training who thought he was simply supposed to shoot many times just because, but I doubt it was pre-meditated or with malicious intent, I really think he was an idiot who got spooked and acted wrong.

>>64839338
He wasn't arguing for the immigration being good, though he was wrong for arguing that Pretti was merely just protesting, which he wasn't.

>>64839371
Silver lining. The faster and smoother the deportations go, the better.

>>64839374
Absurdly stupid (and maybe even malicious) opinion, America has MORE than enough genetic diversity in legal citizens, and in multiple ethnicities. There's tons of legal whites, blacks, asians, etc, from families who date back centuries in the nation's history.

Zoomers and millennials aren't gung-ho about having kids, but maybe that's because the economy, housing market and job market is really buttfucked and they don't feel they have good odds for a decent future.
You would have to be the biggest gigaretard to think that the American economy wouldn't be much better for all citizens without all the illegals taking up jobs, housing, and tax funding.

>violence solved the problem
The use of force was within guidance of policy and case law. You can have a "good shoot" of an unarmed suspect as long as all of the facts perceived by the officer before and at the time would have a reasonable officer believe that it was necessary to prevent grevious bodily harm.
>>
>>64839489
This is the biggest thing people don't realize in this case. The threat doesn't have to be real or your judgement correct, the standard is "could one reasonably believe that your life was under threat" and the answer is undoubtedly yes.

You're a cop who has been under constant death threats for the past month telling someone to get out of the car and standing next to it, suddenly this person puts the car in drive and lurches forward, contacting you, do you
A) Wait to find out if you are being actively crushed to death by the suspect's vehicle then open fire as your body is smashed
B) Fire, because they you reasonably believe this person is trying to kill you since they didn't shut the car off and put their hands up in response to having a cop with a gun yelling at them

>>64835237
And in that same world shootinga man pinned to the ground in the back ten times because his gun was taken from him prior is not a proportional response to the most unshocking and impermanent "obstruction" possible.
>>
>>64839468
You're never better off with a knife. With good shot placement (heart, aorta, cns) a .25acp saturday night special drops someone where they stand. Doing this with a knife is far more difficult and requires a large enough knife. Now, before you start sperging at me like a parasitized chimp, that does not mean a person with a knife is not a major threat, they can definitely fatally wound you before you draw and fire and even a non fatal stab wound can be quite severe. It's just that once stabbed, even fatally, you're usually still a threat for some time. But a good gunshot drops you right there and is not difficult to pull off at shot range.
>>
>>64839489
Yeah, but it's still a really bad look, and most likely the officers could have arrested him alive if they had communicated better with each other.

I don't wanna be all "Why didn't they just shoot him in the leg?" or shit, but they pretty much had him subdued.
The potential still exists that this was partially Sig's fault, but if the P320 actually ND'd in the officer's hand after he took it, he should have noticed and informed the others.
Maybe in the legal sense, this isn't manslaughter, but a procedural error which accidentally escalated the situation.

>>64839502
I actually think the dyke's shooting is looking pretty legally and morally defensible. Maybe not 100% water tight, but I would probably have reacted pretty similarly.

Nothing against dykes btw, one of my best friends is a dyke and she's cool.

I don't even think the shooting of the retard with the gun at a riot was a "bad look" I find it completely expected. These are cops, cops aren't well trained, they aren't intelligent, they aren't nice people. Not only that these are hiring spree cops, the standards have no doubt been loosened and the training rushed. You show up to an event where a bunch of dumbass cops that aren't well trained are constantly being harassed, threatened and assaulted and get in their face with a gun on your hip? Yeah that ain't gonna end well. It's as predictable as the setting sun.
>>
>>64839535
>boys will be boys!

fuck off. its the current admins fault that ICE mass hired a bunch of randos and gave them like a month of training before sending them out in the street. normal cops have more class than this.
>>
>>64839535
It's pretty much as you say, but I feel it indicates that ICE's training should be made better somehow.
Not stopping deportation efforts, it has to continue, but that Alex Pretti should be used as an instructional example of "This could have been handled better, and here's how..."

I hope it's like anon says though, that this actually makes the liberal and commie protestors more restrained and cautious about interfering. Not that commie lives are high on my list of worries, but because incidents like these happening more could jeopardize continued deportation efforts.
>>
>>64839544
In modt states the ICE agents dont have to play cop because the local police hand over illegals. ICE was never supposed to be used like they are, but thats the fault of local Democrats that ordered local cops to not work with ICE. The local politicians can stop this at any point.
>>
>>64839544
And it's the former administration's fault that there's more illegals than ever in such a short span of time, creating the urgency of these conditions.
Like it or not, this is a pressing problem which needs to be handled, and speed is pretty important to an extent.

why not just shoot anyone who tries filiming ice or police, same for anyone suspected of open or concealed carry near ice or police, or who is in a car with a running engine near ice or police, or who has a dof near ICE or police, stop messing around and get on with it. Anyone who behaves in that way deserves to die. These are state operatives doing a difficult job and the disrespect for them is unacceptable. Those criticising them online should be identified and jailed or shot if they have phones or guns or dogs as domestic terrorists. Also ICE and Police should have their steroids paid for by their state health care insurance. They are not looked after well enough.

Actually, I think the only ones who have a likely chance for that immigrated legally and became citizens, and even then a lot of greencards ought to be scrutinized.

i think refugees are always going to act in their best interest because they grew up in a shithole country and it takes a while to get used to how non-shitholes operate, which is why they abuse the system as much as possible. reeeing at the brown hordes is such a low-IQ move because you simply end up using them as an explanation for why everything is bad.

>desu it feels more like manslaughter to me.
I'm not sure if you can really argue that you didn't intend to kill someone, if you shoot them. That's the distinction, right? Second degree murder is when you kill someone on purpose (but it wasn't premeditated), and voluntary manslaughter is when you intentionally hurt someone without meaning to kill, but they die of their injuries.
There obviously are such things as non-fatal gunshot wounds, but every time I've heard about the police "shooting to wound", it's in the context of how they don't do that, because that never works in court.

Japan is looking at upping its immigration in spite of rhetoric by the PM because it just makes financial sense. If you have a degree in Engineering or other specialty, you can get residency in Japan faster than any other first world nation already. It's honestly never been easier to move to Japan. The problem with Japan is its stagnant economy.
>>
>>64839654
That means nobody else can do that? What about the people who don't have what it takes to be engineers? Or who plain don't want to? Or can settle for a menial job because maybe they are satisfied with it?

We should import slaves at the expense of our lower class because YOU don't feel confident enough in your ambitions and abilities? Kill yourself in real life.

The opposite is true. An expanded supply of labor makes goods cheaper in the long run. Literally nobody who knows anything about economics agrees with you. If you want to have an ethnostate, you can have that opinion. What you can't do is claim that it has no downsides. It does, and the downside is both fiscal and macroeconomic. You have to pay for your policies somehow, and taking a hit on economic growth and fiscal solvency is how you pay for your particular policy.

Itnis absolutely NOT a long-term play, it is used to remedy low birth rates and increase the velocity of debt accumulation by importing grown adults who can immediately work and take on debt, versus encouraging making children which are economically useless for a decade or two and cannot take on debt
>>
>>64839691
In the overall picture? Yeah, basically. The government can make small tweaks and things like establishing a minimum QOL, but mostly it should try to maximize economic output of its society. This is why America is the #1 economy in the world and Japan and China are not. This is why the average American can afford an $80000 Truck, a second car, maybe a third and a house that dwarfs the houses of most of the wealthy in other nations, and they can do this all on a blue collar job. If you're not making it in America, you're just not trying hard enough.

Nobody said open borders, just immigration. You can regulate that. The opposite of having any immigration is no immigration, so I assume you do want an ethnostate if that's the case. There's no reason not to take on skilled immigrants otherwise.

>encouraging making children

most women dont want kids because they are completely aware of what having kids means: 4-6 years of hell followed by 12+ years of worry.
>>
>>64839719
Most people don't want kids without a secure financial base. This is why the only people super worried about making babby are childless, single, young men with no economic prospects or outright wealthy elites in movements like the quiverfull movement.
>>
>>64839709
I never argued for an ethnostate (which would be realistically impossible for the U.S, do you have ANY idea how many different white, black, and asian phenotypes there are alone who have history going back centuries in America?), I argue that:
>Illegal immigration should not be tolerated and needs reinforcement for a multitude of reasons
>Legal immigration can not be allowed to be too permissive or at excess cost towards citizens (which it sometimes is)
>Citizens should ALWAYS take priority over foreigners
>The bottom line of big corporations cannot be used as a sole measurement of the economy or quality of life
>>
>>64839719
Overstated problem. People are reluctant to have children because they know it has gotten much more difficult to provide adequately for them in today's ecomomy (which to a large degree can be attributed to illegal immigration and industrial offshoring).
>>
>>64839735
>>Illegal immigration should not be tolerated
Agreed. A country needs to have control of its borders.
>Legal immigration can not be allowed to be too permissive
Depends. Some countries should have free movement, others not so much, and we should make it easy for professionals to move here.
>Citizens should ALWAYS take priority over foreigners
I don't think that's controversial, but it depends on what the priority is.
>The bottom line of big corporations cannot be used as a sole measurement of the economy or quality of life
And yet, it's the best predictor for wealth in a society.

Nobody thinks this guy's death was "ok" situationally but I do think he fucked around and suffered the consequences, and in that scope blame can't be put on the offending officers without taking into consideration a realistic understanding of the chaos of situations like this.
At worst the shooter and maybe a CO should be investigated, reprimanded and retrained.

It isn't smart to fuck about with the cops especially when there are shootings, car rammings, and calls for violence against them.

>>64839709
>There's no reason not to take on skilled immigrants otherwise
That's the sticking point, because it isn't just the skilled immigrants but lots of unskilled labor that eats up low-level entry work that puts the native population out of work
>they can just become engineers
With what money from the job they don't have? How are they supposed to get hired if they have no experience beyond a degree while M'beke and Ganesh get all the job experience because the guys running the construction companies don't give a shit beyond getting to pay laborers less? What you're proposing is a return to the Confederate economy of landed elites, their slaves, and the free population being mostly poor and suffering from severe wealth inequality
>maybe just work harder
Doesn't matter if an immigrant can do the job for half the price and has no conception of worker's rights. No matter how you slice it, the practice is exploitative to both the natives and the immigrants. Really instead of spending a million dollars keeping them here, why not spend a million to make their country more livable and negate their reason to leave?
>but those places will always be a shithole
In that case why should we take on people incapable of running a functional society?
>>64839779
Because have you been using your eyes? Cops are and have always been thugs of the law that barely care about your wellbeing. Do I need to remind you of Acorn cop? Or You're fucked? Or the cop that magpumped an MP5 across a busy interstate? Or Uvalde? Boys in blue are just another gang as far as I'm concerned

There was massive expansion of the agency last year. Their budget was $9.6 billion in 2024 as compared to $28.7 billion in 2025. There are a lot of newbies on the force. It's worth pointing out that Pretti was killed by Border Patrol.

Not if the officer initiates the encounter for no reason, no. You'll notice that Pretti didn't go into a federal building, get warned not to do something, and then got shot for doing it. He was assaulted and shot in the back while disarmed.

It sure isn't an ideal situation, but I think there's a pretty damn good excuse for it at the moment, and it's a very easy requirement for if you're worried about being detained by ICE.

>>64839924
A thought occurs. Pretti wasn't killed by ICE. He was killed by Border Patrol who have regular shootouts with Cartel Narcos who usually don't make it into custody. The two CBP agents who killed him defaulted to how they would have dealt with a narco who was fighting them.
>>
>>64840064
No, I think the feds should have beefed up presence more and used less lethal more liberally so as to disperse the crowd before this got out of hand. If the National Guard had been called in, she'd probably still be alive, but more than that, if she hadn't fallen for the retarded lies peddled to her, she'd still be alive.

I have worked with BP in some of the roughest parts of the border. That's not only not true, but BP agents are mostly chill dudes, especially K9 dudes.

You're assuming that it's unreasonable search and seizure, which it isn't under current circumstances (created by Obama and Biden), and you having the right to bear arms does not mean you get the right to interfere with arrests and getting in fights with LEO.
Pretti getting arrested is entirely within reason, that was not a violation of his constitutional rights.

What do you think Petti did exactly?
>>
>>64840139
>You're assuming that it's unreasonable search and seizure
Asking someone for their papers at random is unreasonable search and seizure. You have to have reasonable suspicion, which they do not in most of these cases.
>having the right to bear arms does not mean you get the right to interfere
Great, Pretti didn't.
>What do you think Petti did exactly?
Filmed, yelled, and apparently tried to help a woman up that an agent shoved to the ground without any intention of effectuating an arrest, making it assault. Even in the case that I would grant you that Pretti might have interfered, it still does not excuse an agent, who having witnessed the removal of his firearm, still chose to shoot a man in the back while he was held on the ground.
>>
>>64840168

Without reasonable suspicion it is, which is what I said, and it's telling that you chose to simply disregard that in favor of your NPC dialogue tree.

>doubt it was pre-meditated or with malicious intent
He killed him. Malicious intent is already established by the action. If you kill someone, you mean them harm. That's malicious. The only question is whether or not it was a legal use of force. "Malice" does not map to "mean," or whatever -- it is the intent to do harm. Similarly, premeditated does not mean you planned it out for a month. In many states, premeditation can be a moment or two. All that's required is a single decision point of intention. That's premeditation.

So, lastly: training. Again, it doesn't matter what he thought. If he "thought" he was supposed to dump a magazine every time he pulls the trigger, that is not an excuse. At every moment you pull the trigger, there needs to be a clear and present deadly threat to you or others. There needs to be a reasonable perception of a threat at every point you pull the trigger. At the point where officer anonymous first pulled the trigger, Pretti was:
>face down on the ground
>one officer was restraining each arm
>another was restraining his legs
>an empty holster was visible on his back -- EMPTY -- because another fucknut had just disarmed him
If you hear a gunshot in that circumstance, how could it reasonably be Pretti? Both hands restrained, face down, empty holster.

There is no reasonable threat there. The evidence is blindingly obvious.
>>
>>64840480
Dude, why post such bullshit.
>>
>>64840653
No, people don't think that. However, we have an economic system that is built on endless growth because the majority of wealth is generated by investing (speculating). As soon as growth stagnates, investors lose their asses because if things aren't endlessly growing they make no return. We aren't seeing massive increases in productivity anymore so the only way to make line go up is to turn society into a pyramid scheme and keep population growth high. Since standard of living is inversely correlated with fertility rate, the system must import people to keep the population growth going. So who cares about the speculators? you may say, well they have the money so they control the political leadership of the nation.

>it is the intent to do harm. Similarly, premeditated does not mean you planned it out for a month. In many states, premeditation can be a moment or two. All that's required is a single decision point of intention. That's premeditation.
Excellent case of defeating your own argument. "a moment before" is not "in the moment". That's what distinguishes Voluntary Manslaughter from First-Degree Murder.
>If he "thought" he was supposed to dump a magazine every time he pulls the trigger, that is not an excuse
Once they have gone lethal, they get to keep shooting you until you stop moving. That might vary by jurisdiction, but that's the federal minimum. When it becomes a deadly force situation, the well-being of the guy getting shot takes a backseat to making him STOP.

>>64840632
Oh, jeez, I was just putting the moment itself in a black box and doing thousand-yard analysis, but yeah that seals it for me. His torso and hands are moving right towards a holster, add in the shooter's obstructed POV from being directly behind him, and yeah, I get it now.

Somalia was not just some obscure topic until recently, the Europeans complain non-stop about them. The Dutch calculated that even 3rd gen Somalis on average each cost the Netherlands the equivalent of $1.100.000 per year, compared to the rough half million average net gain each of Europeans and Americans living in their country.

If the investigation is like any fed investigation…nothing will happen. On top of that, the DOJ is actually backlogged on cases because main effort is dealing with ICE operations and local courts dealing with ICE and Border Patrol bungling some of their operations. Some of it is fluff but they detained one guy and moved him to a detention facility under a “T” visa, which more or less means he’s in witness protection here for helping out the DOJ with an investigation. The DOJ attorneys are also not getting response from DHS who are acting like they’re cowboys wrangling (and wrastlin’) a herd. Keep in mind because of this “national security” pivot to the border we’ve pulled resources from the rest of our national security infrastructure including: cyber, counter intel, port security, trafficking (both people and drugs), and whatever else is deemed detracting from the main effort. A lot of criminal prosecutions have also been delayed due to the shenanigans DHS is committing and the push to declassify all the Epstein files.

In short, this feels less like a national security issue and more just a political play that ultimately makes for good television. Half the population gets their panties in a bunch, the other half just gets them soaked. All at the expense of our justice department actually working on cases and our national security net being exposed. Oh, and to dunk on libertarians by expanding government powers.
