I have heard it said that pipe smoking is dangerous but this item up for bids takes it to a whole new level.

Freestanding, the gun-pipe is kind of novel and amusing. Once stuck in someone's mouth, the image is not pleasant. With zombie movies, hyper-violent video games, and death-cult paramilitaries out and about in the world, one more death-centric image leaves me none too pleased, I admit.

Looks very novel and can be a good conversation starter, but the 'stem' part of the 'revolver' does not seem comfortable for the hand to hold. Perhaps it is for 'gun-pointing' / 'smoke-feeding' a beginner pipe smoker with a single-hand-stand position.
It does remind me of another dangerous object design for pipes - Knife / Dagger (by Tom Eltang).

menuhin, I don't even see how that one works. Are you puffing on the hilt and packing the "grahmophone" horn? It's a strange one.

I don't understand why people ever made them either.

I assume they would be the kind of thing you buy at a carnival and hopefully no pipe shops ever actually carried them.

Such a pipe (together with other weird but beautiful designs such as 'Lamp' / 'Desk lamp' by Eltang) is probably out of my reach and out of my will to reach. So I can only refer to photos from Al Pascia.

With both of these two pipes, one is totally equipped to perform 'Sword swallowing' and 'Russian roulette' (pointing to one's mouth) to impress (or scare) the significant other or some other close friends.
