Single shot and has to be unfolded before use, though.

The video made it look like a novelty item... so where's that startup making a cell phone gun at these days ?

My uncle has one of these. He's a Liberal, and fiercely anti-gun, and yet he has a permit to conceal carry the thing. Since he works in the psychiatric industry, he's convinced that a crazy person is going to come after him. I don't have the heart to tell him that if a real deal psychopath was charging, a single shot .22 is going to do two things: Jack and shit.

That's pretty funny. It would have to be a relatively well placed shot, at close range. Hopefully, he has actually practiced with it at a range. That's a lot of dough, and trouble, to warrant carrying something of such dubious self-defense value. I have, however, taken a racoon out of tree with just a .22 short, from a rifle. It was coming in at night to take chickens out of my coop and I wanted to use something quiet, to avoid disturbing the neighbors in the middle of the night. It worked.

Even practicing at the range won't do much to prepare for the adrenaline rush of a real life psychopath confrontation, and having to open this thing up before it can even fire. Imagine fumbling to get it out of your pocket, with some nut closing in on you. There's really no way to draw it quickly. Then you've got your one shot. Better make it count. Better hope you had the gun loaded in advance.

What he needs is something with some stopping power, if he's concerned about getting jumped. Ideally, something with some scaring power. Pulling a tiny gun out of a leatherman case is just going to make most hoods laugh. The makers of this weapon say up front that it's only intended as a hold out pistol. Something to draw if your primary and secondary carry weapons are both empty, and there aren't any big rocks nearby you can throw.

I cant imagine a scenario where having 4 shots of 22 in your wallet is useful
