Ive always had a fascination with guns that dont look like guns. During WW2 the Germans had a belt buckle that fired 22LRs. One version fired two rounds another fired four. I seems silly but still kinda cool. The Brits had a glove with a small box riveted to the back of the hand and a plunger extending over the fingers. It would fire when the hand was made into a fist and punched against an adversary. As far back as the muzzle loading era there were cane guns. Not that long ago there was a knife that held a cylinder of 22LRs which could be fired by squeezing the grip.
More recently the LIFE CARD was marketed. Its shaped to the size of a credit card but only a bit thicker. It shoots a single 22LR and theres a 22 magnum version. Theres also a pre Iphone cell phone gun that fired a 22LR through the barrel which looked like an antenna.
Guns that dont look like guns are classified as ANY OTHER WEAPONS; but if they have to be "unfolded" into a gun shape to fire, then they are just guns. Around 2000 there was a PEN GUN that made the "just a gun" category because in order to fire it you had to "twist" it into a roughly pistol shape.
One of the coolest "Is that a gun" guns was the MAC (as in M10 SMG) Stinger it was cylinder shaped about the size of a roll of quarters and had a crotch holster so it would "pass a pat down search" To fire it you "cocked" it by extending it, then fired it by pushing it into the target.
