Pistol ring and other unusual guns

Curios-Et-Antiquites Bague-Pistolet-A-Broche-05

Club Littlegun has photos of some very curious antique guns, including this pistol ring. I saw one of these for sale years ago at an antique shop in Aspen. The owner told me that they were popular among Nazis and the Mafia. I can't remember exactly how much it cost, but it was in the thousands. Club Littlegun also has photos of a belt gun, a watch gun, a crucifix pistol, a pen pistol, a hand cannon, and many other unique firearms.

A hand canon is one that can not be heard clapping, but nevertheless harmonizes with itself under transformation.

> Gun that shoots knives that shoot guns?

No, a pistol pistol is a pistol that shoots pistols. A recursive pistol is a pistol that shoots pistols that shoots pistols … (These tend to be quite large, and are not available to the general public.)
