Weird Guns -(part4)- Spetznaz Ballistic Knife

Well, it is not really a gun, but since it fires things that hurt, I figured I would include it to the list.

The Ballistic Knife was developed for Soviet Special Forces as a weapon for use when the report of a gunshot was undesirable, like when neutralizing a sentry. They were issued to the Spetznaz in large numbers in the 1980s.

The knife works by using a powerful spring to launch the blade about 20 feet. When combined with the standard, overhand knife throwing motion, the power behind the weapon is very great and would likely pierce soft body armor.

To fire, one would remove the pin (like on a grenade) and depress the firing button.

Another weird gun, another idea that didn't really make it.

  6. Never seen one for sale anywhere. I imagine that the authorities would frown on it and if you found one for sale, it would be several hundred to a few thousand. :(

  8. Just build one. Use 2 sizes of PVC pipe, a drill, a pocket knife, a nail or screw and an Alen wrench and a strong spring. Simple and effective. Use the larger pipe as the handle, put the spring in it and cap the end of the pipe with something strong. Drill a hole and slide the nail through the spring and out the other side to hold it in place. Heat up the knife and drill a hole In the end of it.fit the knife into the smaller PVC and run a then piece of metal through it an the pipe to hold It together. Melt the PVC to the blade afterwards to insure it works. Frill a hole in the larger and smaller pipe that correspond, and with the pipes together and the spring depressed put the allenn wrench through the hole to hold it. Pull the wrench out quickly to fire it. Takes so little to do.

  9. There were ads for these in 80's American Survivalist/Warmonger/Ninja magazines. The blurb said something about Congress demanding they were sold without the spring. The ad strongly hinted that a substitute spring could be bought from the hardware store.
