We're still not done with our reports of the IWA Outdoor Classics 2015, but we're giving ourselves a one day break of feature stories and post something that would fascinate gun enthusiasts, whether airsoft or real steel. A link to a story posted by the famous Japanese Blog, Militaryblog.jp, by one of our readers from Japan, Heisuke, shows Larry Vickers having fun with miniature firearms that actually shoot real bullets!

Vickers Tactical/Tac TV went to Russia to check out the tactical scene there. He also went to visit Arsenal Firearms, which nowadays is famous for the double-barreled AF2011-a1 pistol. He was more curious about the miniature firearms that they have. He thought they were paperweights when he was showed the catalog by Dimitri of Arsenal Firearms at the SHOT Show 2013; but he was informed that they were actually working firearms that he wanted to try them out when they visit Russia.

The miniature firearms are made up of some of the famous firearms such as Suppressed AKM, 1911, Thompson, a VSS Vintorez, and a good number of pistols. They all work, with the same mechanical action like the full 1:1 scale firearms that they were based on, even the magazines.

Still can’t believe it? Watch the four-part episode of Tac TV on miniature firearms below. If you are in a hurry, you can skip the first three parts and go straight to the fourth part where Larry Vickers gets to fire all the miniatures that were on display at Arsenal Firearms. Now, would something like this be made in airsoft too? It might be expensive to collect since collecting miniature firearms is a luxury hobby in Russia. Just imagine the details and patience that will entail when putting a miniature gearbox together.
