And by special, we mean it\u2019s a crime against both the 2A and basic human engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theakguy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-worst-gun-ever-made\" title=\"The Worst Gun EVER Made!\">his<\/a> YouTube breakdown (embedded below), Brandon absolutely torches the Zip .22 \u2014 a plastic polymer disaster pretending to be a pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s like someone asked, <em>\u201cWhat if we made a gun entirely out of bad decisions?\u201d<\/em> And then followed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The WORST Gun Ever Produced - The ZIP .22\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vmUmDFgHBq4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the ergonomics. The Zip .22 has the handling characteristics of a cordless stapler duct-taped to a TV remote. Charging it requires putting your hand <em>in front of the barrel<\/em>, which is perfect if you\u2019ve ever thought, <em>\u201cI like my fingers, but not that much.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trigger feels like squeezing a granola bar through a tube sock. The grip? More like a suggestion than an actual surface. They even added a weird little finger loop that looks like it was stolen off a Happy Meal toy. And somehow, <em>that\u2019s the best part<\/em> of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-atf-to-end-controversial-demand-2-program\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/atf-to-end-controversial-demand-2-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-worst-gun-ever-made\" title=\"The Worst Gun EVER Made!\">ATF to End Controversial Demand 2 Program<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As Brandon shows, it doesn\u2019t just jam \u2014 it jams so hard it should come with a roadside assistance plan. Rounds get stuck, misaligned, or crushed so badly it\u2019s like the <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/woman-fights-off-man-with-a-gun-trying-to-rob-her-husband\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-worst-gun-ever-made\" title=\"The Worst Gun EVER Made!\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"413\">gun\u2019s trying<\/a> to eat them. One malfunction fused a round into the chamber like the Zip .22 was auditioning for a David Cronenberg film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait \u2014 they made <em>accessories<\/em>! A stock that swivels the gun toward your face for \u201ccompact storage.\u201d Because nothing says tactical like turning your gun into a suicide pact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cherry on top? USFA sold off their beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=single-action%20revolver\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-worst-gun-ever-made\" title=\"The Worst Gun EVER Made!\">single-action revolver<\/a> tooling to make this monstrosity. That\u2019s like selling a Ferrari to buy a Rascal scooter with three flat tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final verdict:<\/strong> The Zip .22 is so bad, it makes <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hi-points-995p-pistol-hybrid-nra-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-worst-gun-ever-made\" title=\"The Worst Gun EVER Made!\">Hi-Points<\/a> look like Swiss engineering. Brandon\u2019s video is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys firearms&#8230; or just a good laugh at something that never should\u2019ve left the drawing board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>But who knows, maybe we&#8217;re both wrong.
