Funniest Death - Jackie Jr.

You telling me Vito the 400 lb meat ball going down an incline snuck up right behind Jackie Jr and clipped him in broad daylight and got away with it.

That solidified Jackie Jr being the dumbest character.... not even AJs lame attempt at Death could beat this.

Is there a legitimate explanation at to why the gun was so comically small? Was that intentional comedic effect by the showrunners or just a gaffe with the prop dept?

u/AngriestManinWestTX 5d ago

Most likely just a gaffe.

It is funny that they gave this teeny-tiny micro “gun” to a fucking blimp like Vito.

It was a nongun. Not a gaffe or comedic effect. They're used for safety. Nonguns are used several times throughout the show.

Saw on another post that because the actor was an ex felon he was on probation and couldn't handle a real gun and they whipped up that piece of junk by painting a dollar store water pistol matt black.

There's a company that makes movie props that sells the exact gun used in the show, it's also credited as such

It's gotta be small enough so Vito can conceal it beneath one of his folds

I just figured it was like .32 acp or .22 mag. There's some itty bitty guns in those calibers.

u/Visionist7 5d ago

.22 would bounce off Jackie Jr's thick ass skull
