I still fail to see why these are illegal all over the place… Its not like a fixed blade is slower than an automatic…
I think you fail to see that this is not a normal automatic knife. It’s a spring-loaded blade launcher.
this is a dumb idea. you have one shot and after that the other guy has your weapon.
So don’t miss.
Ah. Good point…. (bad pun intended…)
Wonder how far it fires.
I think, depending on the design, anywhere between 10 to 30 feet…
I’d say that this would make for a nasty little surprise…especially if you have a backup knife to continue the party.
Wouldn’t a gun be more practical?

There’s something to be said for the suprise factor. If being attacked by a guy with a gun, and you produce a knife, he’s going to be caught offguard if it launches at him, and punctures his heart.

yeah but the heart is a prety small target to hit with a knife blade and if you miss your going to get shot anyways
Still better than standing there with nothing.
It works, I saw Thomas Jane use it in “The Punisher” and I believe it came from one of the comics.
God damn the internet is fucking depressing.
I don’t know if a thin blade would fly straight more than a few feet before it started flipping around
Never mind, I just Googled it. Apparently, they’ve been around since the 70s and the blade can go several meters. Ballistic knife – Wikipedia
