This 2.16 inch Colt Python replica is a real gun that actually shoots 0.35 inch bullets. The gun was crafted using swiss watchmaking technology. The little bullets go 426 feet per second, so watch out. However, you'll have a tough time picking one of these up, as the site has been removed due to legal threats. Probably a good thing.

**Implications** - With so many different things to do in a day, modern consumers are looking for convenience in all of their products. Items that combine function with compactness are appealing to those who want to complete tasks in a timely manner due to their fast-paced lifestyles. A company trying to attract more shoppers could develop their products with this idea of efficiency in mind.
