Designed easiest gun. How many parts in it?

Technology does not pass by the weapons industry - not so long ago, for example, an American company Radetec showed smart Glock pistol with OLED-display and additional sensors such as store display and the number of rounds. Their colleagues from Gill Arms decided to go the other way and, on the contrary, developed the easiest gun in the world. It consists of only 25 pieces, which is incredibly low for this type of device.

GPR-9M weighs 836 grams, while the store is equipped with a capacity of 17 cartridges (caliber 9 * 19 mm) and a number of safety mechanisms which enable the shot only when the trigger is pulled. The length and height of the pistol is 196 millimeters and 139 millimeters, respectively, which makes the weapon is not only simple, but also compact.

Now one of the world's most popular pistols Glock 17 is considered, which consists of 33 parts. New gun could well be his successor: the simpler weapons design, the easier it is weight. In addition, this gun is easier to maintain cleaning. By the way, the world's first printed the 3D-printer metal gun - Metal Gun, also consists of 33 parts. The gun is based on the classic 1911 made of stainless steel and heat-resistant Inconel alloy. Nylon handle is reinforced with carbon fiber. gun barrel withstands internal pressure greater than 20,000 psi.
