Even just a few hours ago, I didn't know I needed such a thing. Now, also need.a.bell shaped muzzle device.with 1/2x28 threading.
"Tippmann Ordnance has introduced the .380 Pirate Pistol, featuring pump action and slam fire in a distinctive pirate-themed design. Key specifications include a 10-inch barrel, solid steel construction, walnut custom stocks, and a unique clam shell receiver. It comes in a custom treasure chest, enhancing its collectible appeal.
Tippmann Ordnance states “What do you get when you combine pump action, slam fire, and a pirate theme? The most unique addition to your collection. The Pirate Pistol”

A couple or three weeks ago, I added to an order a box of 380 Auto 100 Grain TMC Streak Green cartridges from sgammo, for no logical reason I could think of.
Must have been a touch of prescience.

I mean... I guess it's a potentially interesting way to turn .380 rounds into smoke and noise, if one were so inclined, but that seems like a gimmick that would get old after the first few rounds.
So considering there's zero functional purpose to such a thing, and I can think of about a million other things I'd rather spend $800 on, plus I happen to think it's pretty ugly, it's definitely not my cup of tea.
Though there's an ass for every seat, I suppose. Just not this ass.
I'm still confused as to what this has to do with pirates. Is it supposed to look like a pirate's flintlock pistol?
Aaargh?

Absolutely. For a lot a new gun developments, I might state -- "Interesting. Not for me. Hope it works out for them." This one is along the lines of "WTF".
