Yesterday we looked at the development and mechanics of the UC-9 folding sneaky submachine gun. Today we are out at the range with it – how does this thing actually handle? Well, actually better than I expected. The laser is a pretty terrible main sighting system, but the gun itself shoots smoothly and rather controllably, and isn’t unduly awkward. It’s not really practical for anything other than feeling like James Bond though, as there are now other concealable weapons for things like VIP protection that are equally small without the other downsides of the UC-9.

I don’t use YouTube on principle. If Ian doesn’t put the videos on his own site, he’s lost a viewer.
at least there is not a pay wall … just wait
