Oh Dear Lord........
I just couldnt bring myself to watch anymore than 30 seconds of the video.
From what I saw , you max out @ 2 rounds of .380

I could short-load my LCP to two rounds and achieve the same results.
If they could get it to double as a stapler then they might have something.

If it isn't it will be. Then, again, the ATF has a way of doing surprising things.....

If I wanted to carry a small 38 it wouldn't be that ..
But I would my Sig P238 looks smaller and many more shots then the 2 that provides ..
No !! Not my cup of tea you might say !!

And people will wonder why cops just might shoot people who point cell phones at them. With this new "toy" miscreants may be either a) wanting to video their arrest, or b) trying to shoot them! And only a split-second for the officer to make that determination!

Personally, I think you'd be better off just carrying a micro .380 like the Ruger LCP or a NAA Mini Revolver in .22WMR if deep concealment is a concern. Heck, you could probably find or otherwise craft yourself a pocket holster/case that makes the LCP look like a phone/wallet at a glance yet have a more practical self-defense weapon with higher capacity.
Typically I dislike calling any weapon a novelty, especially due to the fact that the term has become something of a blanket insult in colloquial speech among the more ignorant posters on various forums, often used arbitrarily to denigrate pretty much everything the poster doesn't like or can't think of a personal need/use for, but in this case, such would seem to be an appropriate term to describe this weapon in particular.
That said, far be it from me to go joining the arrogant legions of folks who seemingly cannot resist critiquing the carry choices of others, much less go making presumptuous recommendations for what other folks ought to carry as if there's some sort of ideal one-size-fits-all firearm, so if anybody wants to carry this or thinks that this is a good idea, then that's your prerogative. Lord knows there are a few firearms which I use for self-defense that not everybody would consider to be optimal.
However, there will almost certainly be someone else coming along shortly to tell everyone in this thread to, "Toss that toy into the toilet where it belongs with the other turds and pickup [insert whatever poster carries here] cause when yer out there on the mean streets surrounded by a group of gankerbackers circling the chuckwagon on their motorscooters you'll be needin' a serious weapon to fend 'em til the coppers show up to carry 'em away in a paddy wagon!"

It fits the definition of "ridiculous" very well.
If I was even thinking of carrying something that looked like that, I'd carry the Taurus Curve.
And only two shots? The expression "better than nothing" comes to mind. And maybe it is, but not by much.
Thumbs down on this one.

An answer to a problem that doesn't exist. And doesn't answer it very well either.

With my luck I'd get a ring tone and shoot myself in the shoulder.

No, like the Stinger Pen Gun it is gun-shaped when in "firing mode".

Wonder if the inventor is related to Ron Popeil?

That's a disguised firearm. No different than a cane gun or a wallet gun. Illegal.
