The Worst Gun EVER Made!

If Brandon Herrera calls a gun “the worst production firearm ever made,” you better believe it’s special. And by special, we mean it’s a crime against both the 2A and basic human engineering.

In his YouTube breakdown (embedded below), Brandon absolutely torches the Zip .22 — a plastic polymer disaster pretending to be a pistol.

It’s like someone asked, “What if we made a gun entirely out of bad decisions?” And then followed through.

Let’s start with the ergonomics. The Zip .22 has the handling characteristics of a cordless stapler duct-taped to a TV remote. Charging it requires putting your hand in front of the barrel, which is perfect if you’ve ever thought, “I like my fingers, but not that much.”

The trigger feels like squeezing a granola bar through a tube sock. The grip? More like a suggestion than an actual surface. They even added a weird little finger loop that looks like it was stolen off a Happy Meal toy. And somehow, that’s the best part of the design.

As Brandon shows, it doesn’t just jam — it jams so hard it should come with a roadside assistance plan. Rounds get stuck, misaligned, or crushed so badly it’s like the gun’s trying to eat them. One malfunction fused a round into the chamber like the Zip .22 was auditioning for a David Cronenberg film.

But wait — they made accessories! A stock that swivels the gun toward your face for “compact storage.” Because nothing says tactical like turning your gun into a suicide pact.

The cherry on top? USFA sold off their beautiful single-action revolver tooling to make this monstrosity. That’s like selling a Ferrari to buy a Rascal scooter with three flat tires.

Final verdict: The Zip .22 is so bad, it makes Hi-Points look like Swiss engineering. Brandon’s video is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys firearms… or just a good laugh at something that never should’ve left the drawing board.

But who knows, maybe we’re both wrong. What do you think of the ZIP .22? Is it the worst gun ever made?
