The Braverman Stinger is an NFA-legal pen gun that is challenging to shoot due to its awkward trigger mechanism and upward trigger pull. While it functions as a single-shot, breach-loading firearm in .25 Auto, its difficulty in handling and poor accuracy make it more of an expensive novelty than a practical self-defense tool. The reload process is also noted as being slow.
