When you actually need a clip for your handgun.

As far as concealed carry; we're probably talking in the handlebar of a bicycle, or an old timey cane.

I wonder how many times you gotta shoot one of these before you are completely deaf

You'd almost certainly have to double hand it to not fucking die right

Obrez usually has at least a forward grip (the thing's basic incarnation was just somebody sawing the barrel and stock off of a mosin to make it more discreet), yes

I can't imagine holding it like a normal pistol

Coincidentally, its maximum accurate range and its penetration depth are about the same distance

Wym, you have a whole 5mm of barrel to work with after the chamber, I'm sure it'll make it 50cm before dropping straight to the ground like a looney tunes cartoon.

Doubles as a flamethrower.

their massive phallus made it easy to conceal

Hey gun nerds rather unrelated question. 9mm standard pistol bullet's case is not much bigger than its bullet diameter. But rifle bullets and bullets in this picture have a diameter increase beyond bullet. Why? Why they don't just make the bullet cases longer to store same amount of gunpowder?

Maybe to ease extraction? Standard bolt action rifles have much differing action

Case shape funnels the explosion through a smaller area, allowing them to achieve more force with a smaller amount of powder.
