It’s not always everyday that we get to see an unusual gun. That unusual gun may or may not be made for airsoft, but it is something that proves that if “there is a will, there is a way” when making products. It is only the human imagination that will limit out way to develop things in life, and usually, minds can provided limitless idea, whether useful or not.

For those looking a really concealable fiream that looks harmless to others until it’s too late, here is a new design from Trailblazer Firearms. The “Lifecard” is a .22 LR pistol that looks like a credit card when not in use. Such a compact pistol will mean it is a single shot weapon made of fully-machined aluminum billet with hard-coat black anodized finish.

The president of Trailblaze Firearms, former US Marine Aaron Voigt, says that there is more innovative firearms in the pipeline and the Lifecard is just one of the products that is going to come out of the company.

Top operate the Lifecard, the owner slides the latch to unfold the pistol then places the bolt in the half-cocked position by pulling it slightly rearward until the bolt is flush with the pistol frame. He/she can then slide the barrel release catch which will then allow for the barrel to be lifted. The ammo can then be chambered and to close, hold the barrel release catch rearward until the barrel is placed backed and locked by pushing the barrel release catch forward.

When firing the pistol, there is a v-groove to be aligned for target acquisition. To cock and fire the pistol, the shooter firmly grasps the recessed sides of the bolt and draws it fully rearward until it catches. When ready to fire at the target, shooter just pulls the trigger rearward.

To unload, just repeat the loading procedure and pull the cartridge out by holding the rim.

Spare ammo can be carried as there is a compartment built into the handle. The owner can store up to 4 cartridges that are nested alternately.

In a gunfight, the Lifecard will not be able to keep up with the regular firearms. But as a quick self-defense weapon that will make a potential attacker think twice catch him/her off guard with its unique profle, it can be useful. For ladies that need a compact weapon that they can put into their purposes and still looking harmless, then this one can fit the bill. Customers will have to check their local laws regarding ownership of this type of a firearm and whether they allow for concealed weapons.

The Lifecard will begin shipping by mid-August with a price tag of US$399.00.
