Hello
Nice, thank you for this video
Bruh you gotta get that ak50 done😂
What Brandon should've used in his boxing match
It wouldn't be a boxing match now would it lol but wait he boxed?
The good old 'Tism Touch hits harder
Nah he won, no reason to use it
I don’t think he wants a felony yet let’s leave that to the atf
Lmao
Senator Brandon Herrera is truly an inspiring individual, Guntuber, Memer, undefeated boxing champion, an unhonorary vet of Red Horse, and now the OSS, as well as a Purple Heart recipient. a man who can and will do anything except finish the AK50
He kinda sounds like Teddy Roosevelt
Hey now you be quiet about the AK50. It will be a thing.... Hopefully 😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@ch4osaeternum74 Hey now, it is a "thing"..
Just an unfinished thing.
Damn man...he sounds impressive And had I not also watched the vet episode....you would sound a bit like a stocker
Another fun fact: An MRE spoon has a higher kill count than the gun-glove in terms of it being used in actual war-related combat. Considering that it had 0 recorded uses/kills
That's hilarious to know even I knew that.
The condition of the one in the Japanese museum suggests that the use/kill number is greater than zero.
@@jsquared1013 Thank you for the correction
@@jsquared1013The magic word is "recorded "😅
That you know of Some super secret clandestine operator agent James Bond type of guy definitely used one.
It’s crazy the blood stain pattern on his glove practically matches the one in the museum
It says a lot 😂🤣
Ok, I need to add in a very important note, the OSS didn't really get to play with the SGG (Sedgley Glove Gun), but engineers on the Normandy beaches actually got their hands on, or were issued, a large number of SGGs during the DDay landings as a close in self defense gun while clearing trenches, bunkers and other random fortifications, where they actually saw limited, albeit noted, use when fighting got close up, and I know this because my Exes grandfather earned the Silver Star, Purple Heart and his CIB on Utah beach, and I saw numerous pictures of him with a very distinctive glove on, with a gun on the back that were taken shortly before and after the landings took place. According to his son, my exes dad, he actually did get to fire off a grand total of 4 shots with his SGG against enemy troops when him and his unit took a small gauge rail complex that supplied coastal artillery sites with ammunition. Clearing rooms, him with his SGG and something like 30lb of satchel charges and another man with a Thompson, had numerous run ins with emplaced infantry within the complex where he earned his purple heart after losing an ear, finger and getting shot through the collar bone.
The oss played with your mom
Cool story bro
Now that was an epic D Day!
Now that makes a good deal of sense: You don't want to be unarmed but you're expected to have your hands full, and this is a nice compromise.
Sounds like one tough mofo.
I love the fact that you are demonstrating the use of an extremely sketchy punch pistol in flip flops. That alone earns you my vote.
Its a historicsl relic.
His boxing game might be strong. His flipflop game is stronger.
Hopefully, the flip flops are unrelated to the representative run.
We found the idiot
And no safety glasses😅
One of the prizes my grandfather attempted to bring home from ww2 was a matching set of palm size German automatic pistols. It shot very small 25 calibre bullets and held 5 rounds. On the boat ride home he threw them overboard before they could search him for such contraband. If he wasn't having them, then nobody else was either.
Should filled out the paperwork
Should’ve used his prison pocket
@@Sniperboy5551only thing to say there is no and ow
The only gun I can think of that matches the 25cal and palm size description would be a Model 9 Walther, basically the Nazi version of the Baby Browning.
For something that's practically a shady miniature barrel with a live round ready to spew a bullet and hot gasses right next to your hand, you were extremely chill about firing it.
He did almost blow himself up with an improvised black powder handheld cannon not long ago.
It’s okay, there’s a whole glove protecting it 😂
Ian from Forgotten Weapons was probably out there somewhere feeling a disturbance in the force when you shot this priceless gun.
Covering it in fake sticky blood
Lol
😂
My Forgotten weapons sense is tingling, that can only mean one thing. Brendon Herrera bought a antique gun and is ruining it with fake blood.
@@nickvanachthoven7252i understood that reference
Y'all acting like Brandon isn't religiously cleaning this thing as we speak 😭
As someone who makes items out of leather, I would suggest a leather washer inside the glove. It would reduce the risk of tear out.
I'm guessing that standing up to repeated uses wasn't a design priority.
Honestly it should be a sheet metal plate shaped like the base of the gun so it can't rip threw
@@venumus1covered with leather for comfort and possibly more support idfk
@@venumus1 You could do that, but I know from experience that backing that thin leather with a veg tan washer will resist the pull through, as well. The sheet metal would wear on the inside of the glove, and eventually tear through; the screw would not pull through, but the edge of the sheet metal, even rounded and polished, would wear through it over time.
@@HauntedChroniclesI think a big problem might also be the type of glove he's using. Most likely originals would have been used on a pigskin or cowhide which don't stretch as much as deer or goatskin (that's kind of what that glove looks like) but I agree, thick vegtan washer would give it way more support
Whether this was used by OSS others can figure that out. But Brandon's words about OSS operators using this and getting bloody made me think of actor Christopher Lee's description of knife work as an operative.
Yeah Christopher Lee and the author of James Bond were friends, they both did clandestine shit during the war.
@@Chirishman6Another interesting WWII celebrity fact is that Jon Pertwee was one of 6 sailors of the HMS Hood to survive it's sinking, 3 in the water, Jon and 2 others were on land doing training.
And the OSS figured if the bad guys got a foot hold one of the first groups they would look for were professors preachers peaceniks.
So they were recruited as guerrilla fighters, given provisions for a week or two and enough "FUN" stuff to use during that time, it would have been interesting.
@@Chirishman6 I think they were related, actually.
I know us Americans don’t respect the monarchy, but Sir Christopher Lee sounds even more badass. RIP legend.
@@Sniperboy5551 Interesting thing about the monarchy, the title sir is removed upon death.
If I’m not mistaken, this little gun was made for Navy SeaBees and construction workers in high risk war zones. Originally it was mounted on a gauntleted leather work glove.
You are absolutely correct. The intended usage was for seabees, the glove gun was created after an officer watched a seabea killed because he was unable to defend himself inside the bulldozer in a close quarters fight.
@@MichaelSteinmetzSUP isn't that what a handgun in a chest rig is for?
@randomidiot8142 ambushed while using both hands on machinery seems like it's just as likely the attacker will get it.
What I don't get it, is like wouldn't this be risk of setting off while driving?
Well, that's what they SAY it's for. Because they don't want to admit it was really an OSS assassination weapon. It's way too clumsy and dangerous for a Seebee weapon (those guys have WORK to do when they hit the shore).
I'm pretty sure the idea is that you walk around some European country (cold so you can have it concealed in your coat), and then body-punch your target. Their clothing will help muffle the sound of the shot and the gasses will be channeled into the wound where they will make it exponentially worse.
Brandon used this for head-punching (as they did in Inglorious Basterds), but it was noisy because they head is bony and round, and there's nothing to muffle the sound of the shot. But a clothed body would be something else entirely (you're basically using the body as a silencer).
@joshtiscareno1312 You would think those documents would be declassified by now, but I guess it’s the OSS/CIA. Even FOIA doesn’t mean anything to them. I respect it, but it pisses me off. As a taxpaying citizen, I have the right to know what happened 80 years ago, especially if it’s totally badass. It’s a shame they burned all of them.
What I think is awesome is the splash pattern matches the museum piece. So this is proof positive 100% that the piece was used as intended
This
Came to the comments after he hit the dummy to say this. The patterns are so similar. Was 100% used
I wonder if they ever did dna tests on the blood
Crazy how similar the blood spatter on your glove was to the Japanese glove. Great video!
I noticed that after the first shot too. As crazy as it is, that fucking thing saw some action jaxson
Yep
That is somehow cool and also terrifying at the same time.
I saw this gun in a book in the 3rd grade, 16 years later I finally get to see it in action. Thanks Brandon
I think these were designed for asymmetrical operations, like the single use shotguns. They were small enough that you could air drop a whole lot into enemy territory, and then they would use these to incapacitate an enemy soldier and loot their weapons.
I think ian over on forgotten weapons said they were issued to boat captains so you could fake surrender and kill the first soldier that comes near you after your boat gets captured.
@tybkc oh so they were specifically designed to commit war crimes
Apparently the best way to avoid being killed in a war crime is a preemptive war crime
@@dingleberryliespewer3177 well yeah seeing as neither the Japanese nor the nazis recognized the Geneva convention why should we?
as an Austrian myself, the famous austrian Painter had me rolling. But we always say: In Austria, he was an unemployed postcard painter, in Germany he was the party leader
He knew how to have a party, that's for sure.
Also wrote a nifty book in his free time
To be fair, he was the leader of Austria as well.
@@JayTX. the book is fire 🔥
@@fatoni698 sorry, i can´t hear you 😉😅
The fact this thing is a "covert" spy weapon and it shoots a round as formidable as .38 special and not some small rimfire cartridge is actually kind of insane
Yup. A .22 could more than likely still kill, and you might even be able to get 2 or 3 in something that size
@@monkeyman122009 it's just crazy because even today, this kind of weapon is almost always in some form of .22, .22 mag would have been effective enough and cleaner for the shooter though idr .22mag was actually developed
@@alexryherd9810maybe the center fire cartridge was deemed more reliable than rim fire with the inconsistency of the punch force?
@@FishFind3000 eh, they were using a similar "gun" to kill horses with .22 in WW1, I mean .38 is obviously gonna fuck your world up but it makes too much of a mess to be inconspicuous about it. Also I looked it up, .22 mag was made in 1959
It's kind of retarded, that is to say fully retarded. A captive piston would be a hell of a lot more covert.
"Last time being a guest on Unsubscribe"..... You almost had us Brandon, you're the new Co Host!
I love that someone like you is running for office
Hey Brandon, I don’t know if you know, but there’s a guy on UA-cam that does a bunch of engineering videos. His name is Alan Pan. He’s talked about this weapon before and he’s shown footage of using this gun as well. Problem is UA-cam took off the gun, part of the video, but you could still find it somewhere online.
was ab to comment this !
I was about to say this, beat me to it
He wasn't using an original, he was using a homemade makeshift one.
Confirmed, I saw the entire video, and yes it was a makeshift
That would be a cool cross-over video, and Alan could experience Texas instead of California
Surprisingly Tarantino actually made it’s effectiveness actually pretty accurate in the movie. That is wild to see that thing actually being a real unit.
Actually
I never knew that thing even existed lol I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid
I don't see this weapon being effective or making any sense really in any situation other than the one portrayed in the movie. And still then a small handgun probably would've been just fine
@@PsychoticLeprachaunProbably could’ve been used while using an overcoat and taking out an unsuspecting target. But you are right makes more sense carrying a pocket pistol which could’ve held more rounds if your trying to eliminate a target(s). I see why this was produced in limited numbers but it’s still a cool little gun.
@@tomasacevedo3932Also if I recall either a similar gun, (also a glove gun) or this gun was also potentially designed for Engineers. Who don’t have a gun in their hands or wouldn’t be able to pull one out too fast (Pistols are rare in the military).
I've seen a drawing of this thing about 20 years ago in an encyclopedia for children. I remember also being puzzled how it even got to spy gear category, or how it is a CQB-only firearm, which kinda eliminates the original purpose. If memory serves me well, that drawing had something like a string to fire this thing by squeezing the fist really hard, allowing user to actually shoot it a couple meters away from target. Even pen-guns seemed more helpful than this.
Really nice to see an actual thing actually put in use, thank you!
This has got to be the coolest video I’ve ever seen
Like he said “there is no known footage on the internet”
That’s f’n bad ass
If you wanna get technical, there is a pseudo version made by Allen Pan that he made a video about, but going for actual weapon, yes.
When I was a kid i had an atlas of WWII era firearms with all their inner workings, this gun was in it. It fascinated me my entire life and finally I get to see it fired, how awesome!
That sounds awesome, remember the name of it, wanna look it up
I think I read that same book.
You found internet gold.
When I was a child most everything about the OSS was still kept secret. They still haven't revealed everything they did...
@@athelwulfgallandit's likely some things will never be revealed
Closely watching the ultra slow-mo footage I noticed it actually had a dual effect. When Brandon punched the test dummy in the head and set off the .38 special, it blew about a 7-8 cm hole in the skull with quite a messy blowback. However I then noticed that the pistol sticking out from the Sedgley (the trigger) then entered the hole in the skull and stirred a bit around inside it. So not only does it produce a massive point blank .38 special bullet hole in the skull, but directly after that the piston entered the bullet hole and scrambled the brain just like one of those captive bolt guns they use to humanely kill cattle with. Like they thought; "the chance of surviving a .38 special point blank straight to the forehead is already low, but we want to make sure it's ZERO"...
Doesn't matter if it stirrs afterwards, CPU is gone, computer doesn't fight back anymore.
exept there is nothing humane about killing cows with thoes things as they dont alwayys work the first time and its just fucked up to kill intelegent beings with emotions and feelings just for your taste plesure.
@@kirill2525 you keep talking like that me and my boltgun might grow a taste for longpig
@@kirill2525 They are not part of the apposable thumbs camp so that's there own fault. also if we didn't raise cattle the different breeds would go extinct.
@@kirill2525 ...Was that even English, or just a random scrabble of letters that sort of resembles the language?
5:21 look at that "come and see" impression on his face. Such an actor
They had one of these at the ww2 museum in New Orleans. Im pretty sure they implied these were given to the Seabees in the Pacific
It’s fantastic that the splatter on the glove actually confirmed what Brandon said about the one in that Japanese museum, it’s definitely been used the splatter pattern is damn near identical 😂😂😂😂
Some other comments saying that Seabees were issued these because the Japanese kept bayonet charging the engineers , since it's in a Japanese museum I'ma say that it was one of those situations that it was recovered by IJA. Guy took one with him for sure
I’ve also heard a rumor/theory that this was also intended for Seabees (US Navy combat engineers for the uninitiated); the idea being that if a Japanese commando tried to climb into your bulldozer and run you through with a Katana (which was a legitimate possibility, the Pacific theater got ugly), you just had to punch him in the face and then get back to building your airfield.
more seabees nonsense, par for the course. make the kool aid, but never drink it.
@@MrTsiolkovskywhat on earth are you on about?
I still dont see how this makes more sense than carrying a knife or small handgun.
If you work with this glove on it's gonna get in the way of whatever you're doing with your hands and maybe go off accidentally.
/shrug
@@ManDuderGuynot really it's on the top of your hand and it's meant for heavy machine operators so it actually does make sense
@@ManDuderGuythats what the safteys for
Awesome vid Brandon! Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite films, hope you do more oddball gun test videos.
Brandon & Dounut with a punch pistol! Thanks for the laughs!
I first saw this decades ago, where it was described as being a last-ditch weapon for the SEABEES in the Pacific. That's why you always see it mounted to a work glove. It was for equipment operators who might face single Japanese soldiers committing Banzai charges from the jungle.
This...☝️ I myself have heard the same thing that these were meant for the Seabees in WW2. The original guns are stamped with "US NAVY" and the Seabees are their Construction Battalion.
Interesting
That makes more sense as to why that one Brandon showed the picture of is in a Japanese museum
My grandfather was a SEABEE thats SICK
I heard it was for army paratroopers so that when they land they can hit people in the head before they can get their rifles out of their cases (an explanation as plausible as this nonense).
Remember kids, treat every glove as if it’s loaded.
These hands are rated E and definietly not ATF approved!
Keep your fingers out of the glove until you're ready to fire
That "Green Leaves of Summer" interlude was classy.
That was great.
Well, you proved the point about the splatter pattern on the Japanese museum example. And Eli's two-handed approach to setadying the SGG seems plausible as well.
Eli's main issue is he has a hook to his punches due to training. He needed to be able to throw a straight jab but height of target made that difficult. Also the tearing of the glove lets the gun flop to much to the side.
My understanding is OSS aside, these were evaluated and limited issue to Engineers and Navy Seabees... the idea was that they could "punch" an attacker while working on an airfield or operating heavy equipment... I believe that I read that it was used exactly once by a Seabee.
Lmao, of course it was the Seabees. Under-rated badasses of the war
I came here to say the same thing, I remember reading that same thing in an old American rifleman magazine years ago that featured these
Yep- Seabees we’re issued this. Mainly for those working heavy machinery- like dozers.
A reference to that was where I fist came across them. The theory that a Seabee driving a bulldozer could repel boarders.
This was the description I heard of these in a magazine article nearly forty years ago. It would have been "Handgunner" magazine in the UK. The idea being that stay behind Japanese troops were jumping out on airfield construction crews who couldn't practically carry carbines or deploy pistols from holsters fast enough to respond before being stabbed. So few were made because they weren't found to be all that practical and the war was very nearly over. For a bit of silent death, OSS were more likely to "borrow" a WELROD from their cousins in SOE as this is hardly a concealed weapon nor subtle in use. Interesting demonstration though.
I find it fascinanting that the stains on the museum piece concide almost perfectly with ones on the glove right after brandon did the lobotomy on that dummy
@@ProjectTaker "bloody hell" -the japanese spy said.
Was about to comment the same thing, super interesting
I'm in love with this thing / weapon.
“See, it’s empty”
Proceeds to position it so it is obstructed from view
I love Brandon's subtle nod to the camera when he is about to give the SDI sponsership reminder - the cheeky look and smile is priceless
He looks so Cute when he does that! Can't help but get a Man Hard when it happens! Every damn time! I keep coming back to check to see if it happens in every new video he puts out and I get Hard everytime he does it!
@reanukeevesau no you dont
Brandon smooth segue Herrera...
The one in the Japanese museum looked like it had blood caked on it. That’s awesome. I’d want to check that out.
And the stains their glove got on its first firing were pretty similar in pattern
@@RipOffProductionsLLC I noticed that too, it’s crazy.
I couldn’t help but notice this.
Man that was BRUTAL. "Finish him!" level brutal.
8:04 I still think its funny that wildcats line there got so popular 😂
Incredible. I totally get why that Japanese museum glove was covered in blood now.
This might be one of your coolest videos to date. And definitely one of the coolest guns.
Old guy here: I was super chuffed to see the fist gun in Inglorious Basterds. I saw a picture of it in the spy edition in my Dad's set of Time Life Series WWII books.

I've been waiting 20 years to see one of these things fire.
I first learned about it from the Eyewitnes books our school library had when I was in the 3rd grade.
We had WEAPONS, ARMS & ARMOR, WW1,WW2, Spy's, and a few others that are probably not in any school libraries today.
I don't know the title of the book that featured it, but it featured this and things like the OSS / SOE operator kits with the lapel daggers tire slashing rings, and the shoe with a dagger in a hidden compartment in the leather sole.
I remember those books. Those were so sick
A fellow man of culture I see
@@chadnelson2937 absolutely, they were full of great pictures and information that wasn't boring.
Those and the Eye spy books were the best, other books I liked were eventually unable to me because out library was sectioned by grade / reading level.
The Eyewitness books were not subject to this thankfully, because I just wasn't into Harry Potter and other stupid ass books in my reading level.
Oh my God you just unlocked a fuckin memory for me, I learned about a shit ton of guns from those books lmao
How old are you?
Dude,loving your vids. Just the right amount of comedy,seriousness and general dumbassery 🤙
Brandon and eli are an elite unit
Back in the 70s I remember seeing a diagram of this in a comic book... even as a kid I could easily have constructed one... a lot better than a liberator pistol..
Ah yes! Was that a 50's, 60's or 70's comic book? Probably during the Cold War era. Good stuff! I am NOT surprised. You probably could have bought one pre-made for $0.45 back then! Opps! Don't forget AND the 7 box tops!
@chrissewell1608
Cold war was 50s to 90s.. British comic costing 7p... back in the day you could have slrs and handguns in the UK... second hand firearms were expensive back then maybe 80 or more gbp but ammo was cheap .. just a few pennies per round... exchange rate would slew that upwards in cents but not as bad as the 80s when you could get 3 plus usd for 1 gbp ... but given the limited munition requirement and simplicity of design you could just make the lot from common materials using normal toolshop with identical results..
PSA now announcing the new Sedgley MK2. It comes in several different variants including one with Magpul furniture, and a free float handguard ready for all the lights and lasers you can mount, it also has a bayonet lug, AK style cleaning rod under the barrel, and is ideal for suppression.
A bayonet lug 🤣🤣😅😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
@@oddshot60 Great idea!
Shame! You forgot to mention the bipod....
What no scope? :(
@@Einwetok bipod sold seperatly
The original glove in the photo appears to be a US standard issue WWII "cavalry glove", so a matching glove for the other hand would have been relatively easy to come by.
Fern Gully
Hitting me with the deep cuts.
RIP RW
Once again, the Seabees get forgotten.. This was deigned for heavy equipment operators who were working on islands still often in contest between the US and the Imperial Japanese Army. If some dozer operator was expanding a fire zone, or working on an airfield, and was attacked by the enemy, they had at least one punch before going for the carbine. It was designed to be on a work glove, because it was a last-ditch defence for a working man.
According to the other 10000 comments saying the same thing, they were in fact, not forgotten.
The blood splatter pattern is very similar to the one you showed in the museum... I believe it is safe to say that the one in the museum was most definitely used lol
@real_BrandonHerrera.-- ???
That is what you call up close and personal ❤great again dude, hi again from the UK 🇬🇧 stay well everyone, thanks
This is the definition of a "One Shot Punch" and dang is that one shot glorious.
Another great episode Brandon. Thanks for keeping up on the great episodes we all love
This is my great grandfathers original patent!! So greatfull to finally see a video on it!!! Thank you @BrandonHerrera for making this happen!!!
The originals are stamped with "HAIGHT" as the manufacturer and I see that in your name. Seems plausible.
Just crazy he invented .he invent any other crazy stuff?
based great grandfather
So cool
The fact that the blood splatter on the old one in the museum and the one he’s using is almost exactly the same is kinda terrifying
You should try to find an OSS sleeve gun. .32 acp welrod without pistol grip hidden up sleeve used for close contact terminations.
14:11 lesson one "dont fuck with brandon" 😂😂😂
I watched one video and had to subscribe. I love this community
Thank you for this 💪🏾
I can just imagine the OSS guys sitting around right before testing this thing for the first time. I imagine it looked very much like this. Everyone's inner 12 year old boy would be driving the bus trying out a fist gun, right?
Some of their crazy designs they made keltec look sane.

That's one of them forever headaches
9:46 that smirk before the plug because we all know where he’s going with it is beautiful
6:40 that “this is messy” has the same energy as Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool
First learned about them in GI Combat comics, which used to come in those multi comic packs at gas stations back in the 70's/early 80's. In addition to great story series like The Haunted Tank, there would be blurbs scattered throughout about various military equipment, mostly WWII era. When they covered this particular device they either implied or stated that it was for use by CBs. I guess you can't trust comics for accurate history ;)
OSS Superspy (another '82 GI Combat subseries) had the agent stab a "mole" with a "flexible knife". Even then I wondered, if it could bend into a hatband (as stated in the story), how was it stiff enough to stab with? But ah, the Joe Kubert era..
Even though I'm watching a Brandon Herrera video, I still started hearing the demo ranch outro in my head at the end
I'm honestly surprised that you actually wore it yourself. When you first teased it I fully expected some fake-fist-on-a-stick setup with MAYBE a single real hand punch as a meme if it seemed safe enough.
Absolute mad lad.
Imagine Brandon using the sword gun. That would be another cool, unique piece of history. Granted it’s probably the most awkward thing to use but Brandon could make a good content out of it. Hopefully they’re not too rare to find
Only if Shadiversity ends up taking part

Cody saying "I'm just going to go punch a steel target." At the end was golden 😂
I found out about this gun years ago but I could never find any footage of it anywhere and buying one was always out of the question.
I just want you to know that you gave me a dream I always wished for.
Thanks Brandon.
I think it woulda been neat to see it compared to a .38 fired from a revolver, especially since you mentioned the gasses escaping into the noggin
Either would take care of a skull.....
What I find wild is that the splatter pattern from the dummy head and the one in the museum are almost identical
My whole time watching Brandon for like the past 3 years I never noticed I wasn’t subscribed🤦🏻♂️🤣
Love seeing rare weapons fired. Glad to see history preserved on video potentially forever
Seeing these historic and unique guns its incredible. I'll never forget the day where I saw on old lady give up a german luger to a gun buyback program here in Canada. She traded it for some dinky camera for her church, I just couldnt help but think the history being loss there. All the guns in a gun buyback program were destroyed. Damned shame.
Common civvies just don't get it man...
@@thatguy1080 I have to think that someone pocketed a few of those supposedly destroyed firearms.
@@JacobFrazer-ml7cu yea
@@JacobFrazer-ml7cu Since a bunch ended up here in the states, I'm sure you're right.
My grandfather hated that gun for 2 reasons. Post WW2 he was in a gun prototype program that took different guns from WW2 and “upgrade” or create from. He hated that $100,000 in 1947 went to upgrading that glove gun and that so many dogs were killed in the testing of that weapon.
Out of the 3 tested upgrades, there was one with a 3 rounds mini revolver. The weirdest upgrade was to many the barrel longer and “trigger knock” longer too.
The United States Army thought one day Special Forces could have one of those guns in .45 Caliber and hold at least 3 rounds. Only 1 working prototype was made and it weighed about 5 pounds more than the original.
when i was a kid i had this cartoon book from belgium, about the history of firearms, there were multiple volumes but i only had one, they had the punch pistol in it, i was fascinated by it.
This dude needs to be in office. This country needs it.
I've known about these since 2006 or so. Got to see one in the "flesh" per say. Of course I wasn't allowed to touch it or anything and I really wanted to see it used but the owner didn't want to possibly damage it. For a while I thought it was a fake prop thing he made up until I seen the movie Inglorious Basterds. After that I did a bit of research and was astounded to learn that I seen one of the rarest things on Earth.

Nice work!
keep preserving history, brandon
Just like the FP-45 Liberator, these things were meant as a "last resort" kind of weapon. A cool idea, that would be a bit of a nightmare to NEED using.
I think Eli's main issue was throwing a hook instead of a jab.
The Liberator was what you used to procure a real battle weapon.
It's more dramatic, though 😉
In both cases there were better options that were more easily procured, which is why they never went into full production.
I was gonna comment the same, it looked like the plunger was actually slapping the skull rather than being impacted and triggering the shot
Actually no, the liberator was meant for the rebels to take a better weapon, as unboosted said. Liberator was a really cheap gun to make, this one is not. More like an assasination weapon, to get really close to your target, and if you get frisked, they don't find any weapons where you usually keep'em.
Look up the axe-gun. It shows up in Total Warhammer for Kislev and the Chaos Dwarfs.
Chaos Dwarfs sound amazing
First known public filmed use of Sedgley MK2. Target is a White Claw. Fantastic.
That laugh made me giggle. I have heard that laugh at every shoot I’ve ever been to. Way to make history Senator Herrera. 😂
