USFA used to be the producers of probably the best Single Action Army reproductions on the market - but then the company owner decided to pursue a crazy whim and embarked on the Zip 22 project. This was to be a very modular and very inexpensive little pistol with lots of cool possibilities. Problem was, the thing was a malfunctioning piece of junk that handled like a lumpy 2x4.
To make it cheap and easy to make, Donnely (owner of USFA, and apparently the actual designer of the Zip) eschewed the use of either an extractor or ejector. Furthermore, the bolt is a roughly 1" (25mm) cube of polymer and is a consumable part like the recoil springs. The combination of a short bolt travel, very light mass of reciprocating parts, and lack of traditional parts to ensure extraction and ejection resulted (not surprisingly) in a notoriously unreliable firearm.
While each individual Zip is very cheap, this is only possible through the use of polymer molds, which are very expensive to create. Apparently USFA sold off all its traditional machine tools (ie, the Single Action Army production capacity) to finance the various molds for the Zip 22 project. Donnely thought that the massive profits form the Zip would allow him to purchase new tools and restart SAA production after a two-year hiatus. However, the massive problems with the Zip destroyed the company's finances. It was only in production for just about a year, and by January of 2017 the company was formally dissolved, with no assets remaining.

  • I get what Donnely's concept was, but there was nothing forcing him, or the engineers to make it in this form factor. Who said it needed to be a brick? Who said it needed to have such a short bolt travel? Who said that they shouldn't make the bolt out of metal, or cast it, or at least weigh the bolt down by filling it with shot like a deadblow hammer? Did they design the shape first and the gun second?

    @ajorsomething4935@ajorsomething4935 Жыл бұрын

    • I think the form factor is designed to have no potential points for catching on clothing or such. And I guess to that goal the concept might be to just not look overall like a gun. Also they clearly had concepts for accessories, for example the SBR stock. I think the form factor of the ZIP aids integration with those other products, too.

    • Well, I'm one of the few who have liked this thing ever since it came out. Because of its simplicity. I like simplicity. Ian points out an important fact though - which is what others have noticed as well. Simple fix is: getting a stronger spring. That's all! A harder spring and the gun works flawlessly every time (otherwise it is prone to jamming). So in the original gun the creator probably had a heavier spring. Someone thought they'd skimp on a smaller spring, which made the gun jam on almost every round. Search for zip 22 spring, here on youtube and you'll see a totally different gun - from just such a small and simple fix.

In most cases bombs are shoddily made, sometimes detonating on accident at random or even being garbage that you could disable by a rock toss. If the bomb is placed in an area safe from collateral damage like roads or buildings that are already damaged, they dont risk human life or expensive robots to disarm them, and just open fire. They do disarm them with those options, but only in cases where its impossible or risky to shoot the damn thing.

    • If I recall correctly when they were marketing this I think you were supposed to use those charging handles against the edge of a table. I don't remember where I heard that but I'm pretty sure I heard that from someone back when they were originally making this I really wanted one of them I thought it was the neatest thing ever but alas I wasn't 21 yet.

    • I can tell you've never used a bipod in your life. A REAL operator would know that a ZiP (TM) weapons system underslung on your rifle provides all the stability you need to ensure operational success. And I don't know why you mention bayonets when they're clearly obsolete. They've been obsolete since 2013. Even if your primary weapon were to jam, in the time it takes you to make a bayonet thrust, an operator equipped with the ZiP (TM) weapons system has already shot you... twice. Because their rifle has two ZiP (TM) systems mounted at the same time.
