Holding six rounds of .22 Short in an internal cylinder, the Arsenal RS-1 lets you bring a knife-gun to any flavor of fight. While it’ll run you as much as $2,499 (plus a $5 Any Other Weapon NFA tax) to snag one of the last ones available, there are few more interesting ways to add insult to grievous injury.
Rotating a lock on the trigger bar causes the trigger to flick down out of the frame. Squeezing it back into the frame runs the internal revolver double action — it advances the cylinder and fires the next shot.
There’s no shortage of interesting features on the RS-1, but the spike on the guard may top the list. It’s there so the operator doesn’t accidently wrap their thumb over the top and put it in front of the barrel. For obvious reasons. It’s really freaking sharp and would definitely get your attention.
Unfortunately we don’t foresee a TTAG review of the RS-1 in our future. But, if you have a spare couple grand laying around, it’s a unique collector’s item of which there are only a few hundred in existence. Arsenal said there won’t be more and when their remaining stock is gone, they’re gone for good.
I’ll stick with my WASP Injection Knife.

It had to be said, but this truly does answer the age-old question about bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Actually, you’re bringing a gun to a knife fight. As you should.
I see you’ve played knifey gunny before.
With the With the warm weather we’ve had this year the big flights never came in, had some good shoots but nothing like the cold weather years. If you want to keep your barrels hot try the Stuttgart Arkansas hunts.They seem to really pull them in … I worked for a hunting club owner for fifteen years, no rice in this State , corn, milo, soybeans and Japanese millet was what we used.
And I thought that sliding bayonet was a dumb idea…
A solution looking for a problem?
Or “just because”.
“so gout fans”
I don’t know, I had gout a couple of times a few years back, before I made some changes in my life, and I’m definitely not a fan.
Maybe the ducks should fly to Vietnam,lots of rice over there
I wish I had known this years ago when I was buying ammo and stuff for my college gun club. I used to put our school name where it said “company” but I had no idea what the hell I was doing.
Nice looking rifles and a 5 shot MOA performance instead of a 3 shot, nice!!!
I’m sorry I sold my Sig P250 Compact .380. Carry-size and 15 rounds.
A shame that one can’t even point out content of the picture given (Unicorns and Ninja Turtles) while juxtaposing it with fantastical fallacies such as gun control talking points, without getting one’s comment deleted. It would seem that esoteric inanities are no longer appreciated here. A shame indeed.
Cops don’t do this and neither should you
If you don’t think that a .22 short is “even counted as a gun”, shoot your arm or leg with it, like it is a stun gun. You may change your mind. This Arsenal knife/gun is the ultimate gadget gun and if you think it is “Lame things”, then I wonder why you even opened this web article. You opened it because it is a friggin cool piece of engineering and design. But, then again, most people are too cheap to give it the value that it deserves.
I have one.
