Well, that looks safe
Not sure I’d be keen on firing this thing since, to aim, you have to point the pointy end at your face:
The NRS-2 ("Scout Firing Knife") (GRAU index 6P25U) is a survival knife with a built-in single-shot shooting mechanism designed to fire a 7.6242mm SP-4 (СП-4) cartridge, the same cartridge designed for the PSS silent pistol. #russian_military_tourhttps://t.co/4ASXA0xYTR pic.twitter.com/AihKNSHdo3

With a knife sheath that could provide a molded sight that thing might be pretty nifty.

Haha, agree, it looks scary but the idea is ok.

You’ll shoot your eye out!

A weapon that is designed to be dangerous on both ends? No thanks.

nope nope nope.
I do a lot of stupid stuff…well not a lot, but enough. I’m not pointing a rocket knife at my face and “lighting the candle”.
dandy

Knife pistols, or pistol knives, have of course been around almost as long as gunpowder. I’ve never understood the concept.
Is the shitty pistol a backup for a good knife, or is the knife the backup to the shitty pistol?
So, you stab a guy, then finish him off with your single bullet? Or is it the other way around? I don’t get it.
A self-appointed spokesman for the Hells Angels biker gang once said that, “If you shoot one of us, we’ll stab you.” Maybe with this pistol knife, or knife pistol, you can go either way, after you’ve made the decision to draw the knife rather than drawing your pistol, you know, if you happen to realize, after the fact, that you’re up against a Hell’s Angel. Or something.
To me it makes as much sense as mounting a bayonet on your regular pistol, i.e. none.

So let’s say you’re using your knife to clean a fish on a riverbank, and a bear attacks you. Without having to drop your knife, you can put one round in the bear’s general direction before you think better of and then… (oops; you’re already dead).

Ooh! I got it! You’re cleaning a fish with your knife, and then you realize that the fish is still alive, so you whip your knif around and, while holding the fish securely in one hand, you put your one bullet into the fish’s brain from your gun knife using the other hand. Pure genius.

I think it’s for when somebody laughs at you for bringing a knife to a gunfight.

The only logical use is for when you end up on the ground grappling with an opponent, you have a weapon that “bites” in both directions. He’s going to be doing his best to keep the blade pointed away from himself, right?

I just remembered that it was also the Russians who came up with the knife that throws away its blade. They also thought that Communism was a good idea.
