underhammer boot pistol.



wow. look at this, it's a American gun made by A. Ruggles Stafford. unfortunately not much is known about this gun but I do know it was used as a secondary gun. for example; your having a fight and your opponent got you on the ground and he's about to hit you with something big. you would simply whip it out from your boot and put a chunk of lead into his body.

belt buckel pistol.


wow. this is a rare percussion belt plate pistol from 1860. These rare pistols were worn attached to a belt and positioned in the small of the back. A cord was attached to the trigger mechanism and passed either around the waist or down the sleeve of the coat and if attacked from behind the cord would then be pulled and it would fire a ball from the barrel - a nasty surprise for the attacker.

The Minneapolis palm protector pistol


with seven chambers arranged around an internal rotating disk this could be a very efficient little gun, if you used it properly.it's just small enough to fit into the palm of the holder's hand so that only the barrel was left peroding through the fingers.

Japanise hand cannon.







well what can i say about this isn't it just mad. try and imagine, your in town and you've just been pulled over by the coppers, they're searching through you and they find this on you what are they going to say?!?!?
