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?

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