Freaky Suicide Handgun Design Looks Very Wrong

This flipped gun is supposed to add comfort to your last moments of life before killing yourself.

We must admit that we laughed quite a lot when we saw this picture for the very first time as it looked terribly funny and boasted a touch of sick humor from old-time cartoons. We have no doubt that this handgun picture is a digital manipulation but still, it raises a very interesting question regarding style: how about comfort and style during your last moments in life? Apart from all the historic tales and legends with great warriors standing proudly their ground and facing their imminent demise, this self-shooting gun model needs some answers, even if the questions won’t ever be uttered.

 

First of all we should think about a whole lot of suicide attempts carried out with the use of firearms resulting in very serious injuries and mutilations but without ending the lives of the respective individuals.

 

Excessive excitement during what were supposed to be the last moments of life, fear causing hands to become most unsure and shake violently and many other causes have led to failed suicides. It looks like the creator of this “shoot yourself” gun has given some thought to all of the above and came up with the flipped design described in the attached picture.

 

Much to our continuous fun, we'd say that this design comes with an even bigger flaw and complicates things rather than simplifying them. First of all, if you decide that putting an end to your life is the only way and your pistol is the best tool to have things sorted out, it would be a lot easier to just place the gun so you won't have to see the barrel, isn't it?

 

That black gaping hole represents the vortex through which the bullet will come to end everything and we doubt that there are too many people that curious to stare inside it in their final seconds of life. Secondly, as one grips the gun and rests its barrel against his or her chest or head and pretty much any other place, the whole ensemble gains a lot of stability – waving a flipped gun in front of your eyes has way more chances to send a bullet in the walls behind you without passing through your head.

 

That's why we think that this awkward handgun is very wrong and does not bring any novelty in this altogether sinister matter. There is some potential, but this flipped gun could never surpass the old methods.
