I wonder what blade material do they use and how the system works with current rifles..
 
Ballistic knife. Supposed to be seriously illegal just about everywhere.
I've never seen one but I knew someone who posted pictures of his.
 
So the Soviets have come up with a ballistic knife eh? No problem, the US will build an even bigger and deadlier one!

Seriously though these things have been around for more than 20 years, I think they might be past the prototype phase...
 
These things have always seemed really stupid to me. I wonder how likely it is the knife will even stay straight with no way to stabilize it.
 
I bet it would be tons of fun for a back yard knife blade shooting contest. Other than that, not terribly useful.
 
According to "Deadliest Warrior" they're basically the most badass thing ever. Seriously. They even did some pretty hardcore tests with them, like popping balloons.
 
They really do work well. I use mine on Call of Duty all the time.:D
 
They have been around for YEARS and have been banned Federally and in all states for years also. ( maybe not NH)....The first ones were cheap, dangerous to everyone near them including the owner as they were very unsafe to carry and deploy. One of the NYPD officers who works for me was a former USSR officer and told me they were introduced for a short period of time and then never issued since they were too dangerous to the user, and failed as a useful knife for non weapon knife uses. Many attempted to use the knife for normal cutting chores and the blade would release and injure the user/bystanders......
 
A guy came in once and offered to sell me something that looked like a ball point pen (slightly larger) that fired .410 shot shells. He said he fired it once with welding gloves on and it still hurt him more than it did the target 20 yards away.

I would put that in about the same category as this thing. It can be made, but why?

Oddly enough a superior weapon was invented over a hundred years earlier AND it can be carried legally AND you can get off second and third shots...it is called a "pistol".

Truth in that.

.410 shotshells out of a pistol at 20 yards probably wouldnt hurt a light cotton t-shirt.
 
Supposedly, very few, if any, of the ones in the USA were real Soviet-era ballistic knives. I believe that the majority were manufactured in the USA. They used to be sold in the back of Soldier of Fortune mags IIRC.
 
Back in the 90's there was a company selling these without the spring. They also sold a "mace-head" version with a spring. The "mace-head" was a cylinder shaped piece of steel that they showed would go thru plywood. At $200+ EACH, they were making a killing and a lot of buyers probably got hurt. These things are more dangerous to the user than helpfull. I would only have one as a collectors piece without a spring.
 
I don't see why anyone saw the need to illegalize this useless invention.
