In this video, we take a deep dive into one of the strangest and most fascinating firearms ever made — the Mimic Speed 9.
Designed around the idea of ultra-fast magazine changes, the Mimic Speed 9 features a rotating magazine system that reloads unlike any other 9mm submachine gun. We’ll explore its history, design, and intended purpose — and of course, we’ll take it out to the range to see if this bizarre concept actually works in the real world.
From prototype mechanics to real-world performance, the Mimic Speed 9 is a reminder that innovation sometimes walks the line between genius and madness.
🔫 Tested with: 9×19 mm ball ammo
🎥 Shot on: Phantom TMX 7510 high-speed camera
