    It looks like the ejection port may be configurable for lefties, but I'm not sure.

    As shown, it would be unusable by left handed shooters (like...me...for instance) because the ejection port would be blocked by our bodies while holding the weapon.

    If it is configurable for lefties, it looks like a very good weapon...well...other than the choice of diminutive caliber.

    It's definitely innovative, if nothing else.

    I would have to take issue with the "effective range" of 600 meters with an 18 inch barrel.

    I'm sure you can hit targets that far out, but whether the projectile velocity would still be sufficient to consider it "effective" is questionable.

    I'd definitely be interested in shooting one though.
