Aimat, Gun Camera

Take out your aggression with this harmless pistol called Aimat. It’s actually a pinhole camera.

Point, shoot... and go get the film developed

This is how photos taken with this camera look

When you shoot, you get pictures like this one

Aimat was first presented at the Desifnma design conference

Your boss asks you to do the impossible, your mom tortures you to get you to clean up your room, your friends stand you up, your girlfriend cheats on you... instead of taking out your aggression on the first innocent victim you find, we suggest you get one of these 100% harmless guns. It’ll take a picture each time you press the trigger.

Aimat is a very basic, utterly unsophisticated photo camera. It was designed by Franziska Dierschke, a German student at the Bauhaus Academy in Weimar. Two years ago, she presented it at Desifnmai, a design conference held in Berlin, but it’s only now started catching on over the Internet.

It’s a pinhole camera, the kind anyone can make at home because they don’t require any sort of extensive understanding of photography. These cameras produce an image using light that passes through a tiny hole. Any sort of container can be used to make a pinhole camera; all you have to do is drill a hole in it. And what better way to "shoot" your photos than straight out of a gun?

This camera has no focus, viewfinder, or lenses and makes very interesting photos, with a darkened frame around them like you get with the Lomo. A camera/toy that will help you reduce tension and also have fun running after your girlfriend, your mother, your boss, and your friends.
