This video tests the lethality of various pocket pistol calibers using a ballistic dummy. Smaller calibers like .22 Short, .22 LR, .25 ACP, and .32 ACP showed limited penetration, often stopping at the sternum or ribs. Larger calibers such as .380 ACP, .410 shotgun shells, .45-70, and .500 Magnum demonstrated significantly higher terminal ballistics, causing substantial damage.

The Braverman Stinger pen gun, produced from 1993-2004, is classified as a handgun by the ATF due to its folding mechanism, avoiding AOW status. It was offered in multiple calibers including .25 Auto, .22 LR, .22 Magnum, .32 ACP, and a .380 ACP conversion. Despite its novel design, its slow deployment, lack of sights, and single-shot capacity limit its practicality to very close-range defensive scenarios.

The Semmerling LM4 is a unique, manually operated .45 ACP backup pistol designed for extreme compactness. It features a novel magazine retention system and requires manual cycling of the slide for each shot. Despite its innovative design, it suffers from significant recoil, potential safety issues due to finger proximity to the muzzle during operation, and documented reliability problems with its magazine and ejection.
