Alexander Perfilyev, of Chita, Siberia, has been handcrafting miniature fully functional gun replicas for over 30 years. He even goes as far as rifling the tiny barrels! RIA Novosti.ru have published a video (in English) about his hobby.

Seriously?
No one’s said it yet?

0One of the old timers told me some time ago, that before the 1968 GCA, there was a guy who made minature Thompson machine guns in 25 Auto.
Never saw one, just was told about it. Don’t know much else about it.
0 0My GI Joe collection, just popped wood.

0 0These have been around for along time, you can buy revolver versions in the US, they are called pinfire guns, and they shoot 2mm pinfire rounds. You can also buy blank, and real ammo for them as well. A video on youtube shows a guy shooting a hole through a soda pop can, I read that the velocity of these pinfire 2mm rounds is approx. 400 – 450 fps, about the same as a pellet/BB gun.
The pinfire guns I mentioned are all semi-autos, I have no idea about the legality of autos though?!?!
0 0Now if he can craft some really tiny cartridges, Game On! 
0 0Awesome. And no CNC. I wonder how he makes the rifling? Its a nightmare on regular sizes let alone tiny ones…
0 0Reminds me of the swiss Leon Crottet, who has produced small batches working models in scale 1:2 of several weapons; unfortunately he’s not so well known outside of the german language territories.
0 0i like that c96
0 0Now THIS is cool! I’d love to see more of his creations, and learn more about how he does it.
0 0Gotta say it: he’s got him some real mouse guns…
0 0I don’t if this allowed by ATF or NRA law, but this Russian is awesome with gun craft. Probably Tamiya/Dragon/HotToys are looking for him right now.
