Americans have a lasting fascination with guns. The perennially debated Second Amendment has guaranteed citizens of the United States “the right to bear arms” since 1791. [post updated 2 nd July 2017]
It’s been recorded as the smallest gun in the world. While its bullets only travel just over the length of a football field, because of its small size, the gun is illegal to import into the United States

According to Guinness World Records, the title of the smallest working revolver in the world goes to the Miniature Revolver C1ST, manufactured by SwissMiniGun. The tiny firearm measures just more than 2 inches (5 centimeters) and weighs less than 1 ounce. Next, we’ll take a look at some other types of firearms.

The SwissMiniGun C1ST is a double-action .09 caliber six-shooter that’s just over two inches (5.5 cm) long weighing 0.7 oz (19.8 g). And the price?
The C1ST SwissMiniGun sells for just over CHF6,500 (approx. US$6,705). No, not a gold and diamond version, just the basic gun.
The fastest gun int he world
The Metal Storm gun is one of the fastest gun in the world with a Guinness World Record to beat machine gun M134 Minigun by a decent margin. This weapon fires about 1 million rounds per minute.
Its still a bit strange that M134 was called fastest one with its 6000 rpm. Soviet/Russian GSh-6-23 automatic 23mm cannon has 9000 rpm (as of ru wiki; en wiki says about 10000 rpm)
