The Volg Mercy Killer, so named because 'It's a mercy if it kills what you're aiming at.', exemplifies many of the scratch built handguns used by the desperate and oppressed across the realm of man. Built from whatever materials at hand, these single shot stub pistols are more dangerous to the wielder than to his opponent. Indeed, in Volg, a Mercy killer and a handful of bullets cost less than a trencher of pot boiled murk fungus to eat and a demi liter of recyk water to wash down the taste.
Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.

"While the Single-Action Army can hold six rounds, you should only carry it fully loaded if you want to shoot yourself in the foot. In this condition, any sharp rap to the back of the gun will send supersonic lead in whatever direction the weapons is pointed. Now, most of us don't go around rapping on hammers, but you could be riding a horse and bump it with your elbow, or drop it on the ground, or bump into somebody."

I think that is the most successful string of firing of a ZiP .22 that I have ever seen in my life. I watched a bunch of the other videos that people have put up on these things, just to get a feel for what I should expect - none of them prepared me for it actually firing.
