Been meaning to write about this awesome little guy for so long...
So long that I forgot about it (...) Finally now it was the time. Found a lot of garbage on the net, 9GAG kinda shit. But I wasn't interested in that. Ever since I fount it I was interested in it's history. It's real history.
And it turns out that this little beauty it's an 19th Century, French 5mm 5 bullets Le Petit Protector ring gun. This was actually made and used. It makes a lot of sense if you thing about it... France of the 19th Century was filled with cabarets, joints and stuff like that. So ultimately this was a necessary for the women involved (more or less) in dancing and dancing ; if you know what I mean.
Although I don't think that this little guy could deliver a serious kick, I'm sure that pulled next to an eye or next to some skin it could do ''something'' . Remember, I'm more than sure that this kind of ''jewelry'' was used by a certain class of ladies. And when things got out of the control... BANG ! or PUFF (hahaha).
Just enough so the aggressor to get scared and back off. No tranquilizer spray or electric shock tasers back then !
Not to mention that it looks like a proper ring. Besides it's ultra compact mechanism, the thing looks so damn nice. Like a proper jewelry. dWRENCHED APPROVED !
Couldn't find the actual Le Petit being fired but I think this is pretty close:
Thanks for the extra info !
ReplyDeleteA .22 rimfire shortbarreled might very well punch through the skull. While .22 may not do much harm to muscles and such, if it enters the skull it is likely to kill.
