I posted this flashlight months and months ago, and it didn't cause a stir like now, what gives? These are high end items, don't expect to see them on the streets.

They are legal to own and are legally made and sold.
The ring pin is the safety, has to be removed to fire, like on a hand grenade.
Its only a .410 shell, its not gonna pack a wallop like a 12 guage would. It will not knock you on the ground or knock the front door off it's hinges.
And any LEO that approaches you is going to be cautious anyways if you got a 3, 4 or more cell mag in your hand.
As I recall most .410 loads only hold 3 to 5 pellets, the 410 is not that large of a round. The "shotgun" term is misleading. I'm not saying it can't be lethal, just don't think "big bore" when you talk about the 410.
Though I don't have the link anymore, there was a "zip" gun disguised as a cell phone that fired 4-5 rounds of .22
The thing you have to remember it that ammunition creates tremendous amounts of pressure that stresses metal. Usually most homemade stuff looks like crap, are very crude, and is made to fire .22 ammo, due to its weak power and small size. If you don't know anything about firearms and ammo, there are several kinds of .22 ammo that range in different power levels, some being on the level of high end air rifles.
These items on the web site have to be manufactured professonally to withstand the rigors of firing the ammo they use so they won't blow up in your hand, to be able to withstand the pressure these higher calibre rounds produce when fired.
Just because its a firearm doesn't mean it goes bang and you're dead on the ground with one shot.
And if the guy's wife can take a joke why can't anyone else?
I'm not spouting off or flaming anyone. It does bother me though that this thread kinda reminds me of other forums that I do not frequent anymore due to the content infused by its members [refering to the other forums' participants]. One of the reasons I was so attracted to this group was the friendliness and courtesy of the members.
And technically speaking, the lights fire out of the opposite end than the lens, so if she was looking into the light to see how bright it is as so many I've seen do before, then pressed the button, the projectile would fire away from her. So it would probably be hubby that got shot!
And please don't tell me that the flashlight will fly out of her hands and hit her in the face cause blunt truama and eventual death due to having it impaled.
