Yes.

It'd be good in theory with a bit of refinement.

>>33891441
It's more cost effective in the long term to have an expensive gun that shoots cheap ammo than a cheap gun that shoots expensive ammo.

The pistol basically is potentially capable of doing 1911 performance (at least in terminal ballistics), with abysmal accuracy, bad mechanical reliability, the worst battery of arms ever thought of for an automatic, and having the durability of a toy.

>rocket moves really slow at the muzzle so the slightest puff of wind means you'll be shooting 15MOA groups on a good day
>will have absolute dogshit performance at point blank and basically not be a deadly weapon at all

The gun itself was a honking piece of shit and I can see a better design being made, but the rocket itself is just a bad idea.

Oh yeah, and lets not even begin to compare .45ACP hardball ammo vs 12mm rockets in terms of cost (by that I mean the original production cost and market price, not current collector values).

So... it's just a cooler 1911?

>>33896571
No, a 1911 will shoot straight and isn't reloaded like a paraplegic Steyr Hahn made out of pressed zinc.

>>33896979
Well I can't disagree with that.

For fuck's sake, who!?
