Miniguns

**jackdm3** · 11-02-2009, 11:11 PM

I wanted to see what you guys have on the other side of the spectrum in the way of the smallest guns.

The pen is a teargas propeller. You can see the striker has two positions:
1. pulled back with spring engaged, you nudge the trigger over to actuate the firing pin towards a rimfire/.22 that would be inserted into the end and trapped in place if the working end was bored/enlarged to accept a .22 cartridge
2. at rest, the trigger is pulled back slightly at the detent and the firing pin would stay off the bullet in safety position

This was originally designed as a teargas device during the cold war. You can't see it, but on the other side is the pocket clip.

The other is my grandfather's vest pocket .25 Colt model "N" hammerless circa end of 1918 of which there were 19750 made. They actually make replica versions for airsoft.

That's my Maine Coon's paw to assist.

The pics may come out out of order.

That pen gun is pretty cool, have any more info on it?

**Jasongar8** · 11-02-2009, 11:25 PM

Do you have paperwork on the pengun?

**jackdm3** · 11-02-2009, 11:33 PM

Well, it is not actually ready to fire a .22 until you drill out the bore. As it sits, it ready to trigger a small teargas cartridge from the end, for which I have none. I just didn't want to drill, so as to keep it original. Here is a site to read more.

EIG Pen Guns

Be sure to go to the "Next Pages" for more good stuff.

I'm thinking that after several shots, the end may deform and become unable to hold the teargas cartridge or a .22. Then what do you got?

10-4. In you pic it is portrayed as an actual .22 pengun which falls under the NFA. So I was just wondering. Thanks for the information though.

The mini guns are cool but I prefer many guns.

Your grandfather had good tastes. Nice Colt! These guns are, as you suggest, rare. They are even more rare to be in such good condition with fine grips. Got any more?

**jackdm3** · 11-12-2009, 08:22 PM

That's the end for me. I had hoped to turn this into a thread to see everybodyelse's oddities, but no one picked up on it. The title is "Miniguns", not "MY Miniguns."

I am curious to see how many times it can be used.
