If you use that gun looking one in public, you are sure to end up as the next victim of a police shooting.
What a terrible idea! It’s a good way to get shot by security or police. The other thingy just tries to make up for what’s missing in this “camera.”

3D printing can be fun… They could also design an ergonomic camera body to attach the AIR and a smartphone (with a tilt screen mechanism)…
As Mae West would have said: “Are you happy to see me, or is that an Oly Air in your pocket?”
I see some Darwin Awards coming up…
That thing is incredibly stupid.
Every Rethuglican will want TWO of them!!! 🙂
Top kek m8.
The Democan’ts are the ones who are the real thugs. Republican’ts are terrible, but Democan’ts are many levels worse.
Liberty is the only way.
Amen Brother!
see..your screen name reflects the fine mind of a rethuglican. Typical.
I am not a dim or a republican. Try again
What is wrong with my name?
Please stay away from the Fox News Channel propaganda…it is worse than Russia to your dim minds. Please try to find the facts and be a free thinker. Pull up your big-boy pants and try…you can do better. Most rethuglicans are gun-happy, manipulative racists. Its MORE than obvious.
I prefer to shoot with a camera. I am a happy democratic artist…you know…the “arts” …..what Rethuglicans NEVER fund….. 🙂
Most are racists? Please show me your studies backing your assertion or are you a sociologist? Your posts show that you are just a leftist with an axe to grind so far. If you hate guns, that is fine. Please don’t try to force your position on others. If you hate republicans, that’s fine. It is a free country. Please do your due diligence and understand history though. The Democratic Party has been the party of racism as a whole far more than the rethuglicans as you say. It was the Dixie Democrats who made up the KKK for the majority. How was slavery ended? The Republicans you hate so much. As for Fox News, I am not a fan but I think it strange that you do not deride the slant on the other stations that is that and worse. I am probably fighting an unfair battle since you are probably lacking in culture, education and life experience. Please post your “Art”. I would love to see it.
Why should Tax payers fund your hobby?
How silly. Faux News Channel is a liberal echo chamber. Other “news” outlets like CNN, NBC, etc, are communist/socialist echo chambers, even worse than Faux News.
You seem to have an aversion to firearms. You are probably one of the people who believe that guns kill people. If you make guns illegal to own, then guess who will have guns and who will not? Law abiding citizens will be left defenseless, and criminals, who have always had guns, will still have them. Crime rates skyrocket.
But you probably are not whole enough to understand that things work best when you let people buy what they want, how they want it, when they want it, with little regulation. Government always ruins everything it touches.
Once again, Liberty is the best way.
I won’t bother to respond to the internal US politics debate but when it comes to guns….
The USA has similar violent crime rates to most Western European countries. But a murder rate many times higher.
An example, there were 60 murders last year in my small country with 5.3 million population. We have banned most guns, most knives, air rifles etc. in most circumstances.
The USA murder rate would mean that we would have around 240 murders.
We have quite a lot of deprivation, drug problems and so forth and our population is mainly concentrated in large towns and cities.
Yet our murder rate is one quarter of the US…
Simple fact is the bad guys are far more likely to use a weapon than the good guy and far more likely to use it first when both are armed.
That’s why in one of the most heavily armed nations on earth not one of these random shooter events in shopping malls, cinemas etc. has been stopped by the gun toting citizens.
Not a single shooting has been stopped by an armed citizen? Wow, you really are a victim of the liberal media. Shootings are stopped all the time by armed citizens. The only difference is that every single international news outlet intentionally ignores these events, as they do not suit their agenda to disarm the world. See : http://controversialtimes.com/issues/constitutional-rights/12-times-mass-shootings-were-stopped-by-good-guys-with-guns/
A simple google search turned up this article, which was among dozens of others.
So Sid, will you be voting for Ben Carson?
If more people had some, it might get you over your hoplophobia
You know you have a great product when others make devices to launch it into the sky.
My first thought was, “As if photographers don’t run enough risks in war zones…”
Probably just walking around anywhere these days, let alone war zones 🙁
Ideal Christmas gift for those noisy neighborhood children!
So how much is it?
I cant decipher it…
Let’s keep political mud-slinging off this site, please. There is enough of that everywhere else on the net.
You are the only one whoi has mentioned the P-word.
Making a camera look like a revolver is profoundly stupid.
I don’t think you looked at all of the other comments. A political position flame war was certainly developing 🙁 I agree that the device is a stupid idea. Someone thought it was a”cute” idea without thinking it through 🙁
If you live in the USA, owning this “fake” gun is a good way to die.
What could possibly go wrong?
Nice idea. Goes to show what can be accomplished when camera/lens combo is so small.
Reminded me of the Photosniper:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenit_%28camera%29#/media/File:Photosniper_-_assembled.jpg
I would think the idea of the AIR would allow you to be discrete, not draw attention.
Yeah, because shaping a camera like a gun is going to go over so well if/when the police show up…
The fake gun laws require a Bright orange front on all play guns. This violates the federal laws on fake & toy guns even if it’s a working camera. The penalty for not labeling that as a fake will cost the user his freedom and maybe even his life. Let’s hope people are smarter then this to get a holder like that. Really Really Stupid!!’
Not true. BB guns, pellet guns, paintball guns lack orange tips.
Plus, this gun shoots photos.
