I've got one of those crappy Bond Arms derringers, shoots .45LC or .410. Now you might think a .45LC would have some punch, but you would be wrong. There's about 1" of barrel before the bullet flies out the end. I've seen it bounce off a wooden pallet.

This is a community dedicated to discussion around historical arms, mechanically unique arms, and Ian McCollum's Forgotten Weapons content. Posts requesting an identification of a particular gun (or other arm) are welcome.

Rules:
1) Treat Others in a Civil Manner. This is not the place to deride others for their race, sexuality, or etc. Personal insults of other members are not welcome here. Neither are calls for violence.
2) No Contemporary Politics Historical politics that influenced designs or adoption of designs are excluded from this rule. Acknowledgement of existing laws to explain designs is also permissable, so long as comments aren't in made to advocate or oppose a policy. Let's not make this a place where we battle over which color ties our politicians should have, or the issues of today.
3) No Advertising This rule doesn't apply to posting historical advertisements or showing more contemporary ads as a means of displaying information on an appropriate topic. The aim of this rule is to combat spam/irrelevant advertising campaigns.
4) Keep Post on Topic This rule will be enforced with leeway. Just keep it related to arms or Forgotten Weapons or closely adjacent content. If you feel you have something that's worth posting here that isn't about either of those (and doesn't violate other rules) feel free to reach out to a mod.
5) No NSFW Content Please refrain from posting uncensored extreme gore or sexualized content. If censored these posts may be fine.
Post Guide Lines
These are suggestions not rules.
-Provide a duration for videos. eg. [12:34]
-Provide a year to either indicate when a specific design was produced, patented, or released. If you have an older design being used in a recent conflict provide the year the picture was taken. Dates should be included to help contextualize, not necessarily give exact periods.
-Post a full URL, on mobile devices it can be hard to tell what you're clicking on if you only see "(Link)".
-Posts do not have to be just firearms. Blades, bows, etc. are also welcome.

Barrels are for cowards
So cool!
This would be a good Tifa weapon.
That's really fucking evil.
iirc, there's also a knife - it's the thin piece of metal right next to the left-side straight piece.
Holy crap, you're not kidding! This thing is illegal in multiple ways in many states!
Looks like the blade is fixed. Other than the brass knuckles, not sure what else would be illegal about it in some states.
Dunno, man. State knife laws are weird. Double-edged (stiletto) could be illegal in some, and that blade is at least 4" long. It's not assisted-open (which is the common no-no), but it's also not fixed: it's a folding blade. I can't tell if it has a locking mechanism, but sometimes it's the combination of features.
Edit: Ok, maybe not 4". Looks more like 3.
Just like any other weap... O right, USA.
Please, tell me that the gun one is also banned
For being brass knuckles, yes. Gun itself would be shitty, but not illegal.
Yeah, as long as you have a carry permit. If you're in a state that doesn't require carry permits, then the whole thing is probably 👍
They are one and the same, the knife pops on the bottom.
