I had one of these.
Not very accurate, but if that's all I had and I needed to hold off a charging watermelon or a rabid herd of zucchini squash it would be welcome tool.

Most members won't find it offensive, myself included, but from the forum rules:
Discussion of shooting anything at any person and/or animal is prohibited, and may result in a permanent banning of your account.
1. The exception to this rule is for proper use of legal airsoft and/or paintball markers.
Also, the original post belongs in the off-topic thread.

Ok I went back and took out any reference to engaging an animal just so I don't get in trouble with the admin

I remember seeing these in the Henry gun catalog many years ago. I don't really have time to watch a 15min video, but how much are these going for?
They were $200 back then which was still kind of a steal even for the shear portability factor.
If you're in a survival situation you're probably not going to be after large game (which is usually taken from a distance), so I figure merely decent accuracy is acceptable. Even though it doesn't have much stopping power, with an 8 round mag is should still be useful in a pinch.

One concern is their reliability, I don't have one and won't have one, but I haven't heard good things about it.
Matty, don't regard .22lr, it may look and feel like a cap gun, but it's at least a bit lethal. Anyway we all can't afford to (the rules) with a .50BMG or .338 (both banned), we have to buy .510DTC down here.

not sure on how reliable but i just love the simplicity and how compact it can become, a good thing is that its really light and floats when dropped in water

That said, the Germans certainly had more style when it came to survival weapons for their aircrews

I learned to shoot on a little Savage 330(something), anyway a 20in barreled .22lr on a 20 gauge. Brilliant little gun, quite accurate and because it was fairly light the 20 gauge shells used to kick a bit (for an 8 year old anyway).
