Notability[edit]

This article is about a prototype which apparently never went into production. The website of the company has a media page hosting articles about it, the first of which was published in 2008 and the last of which was published in 2009. (There's a 2010 article about the company sponsoring a Little League team). It seems like this proposed weapon was a cute idea which got some attention, perhaps with the help of an industrious press agent. None of the sources are reviews. Apparently no one outside of the company has had the opportunity to fire one I don't see how it's a contribution to the encyclopedia. There's no rule prohibiting articles on unbuilt prototype weapons that I'm aware of, but in the past many of them have been deleted. Rezin (talk) 20:13, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an update from May 2014. [1] It's still unclear if and when the pistol will actually be produced. Rezin (talk) 01:52, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Rezin, I just did some mild cleanup and added a link to the Protector Palm Pistol of which this thing is a simplified copy of at least in function. But if it doesn't go anywhere, this article can be tagged as non-notable promotion. I have to admit that the FDA aspect is kind of interesting. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 23:29, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. If it does get built, the first run is only 500. So far, the notability seems tied to the FDA issue. Rezin (talk) 19:01, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Still no sign of the things being made. At the end of the day they are just squeeze pistols which is hardly a new idea.©Geni (talk) 01:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
