This review details the OSS Stinger, a disposable .22 Short pistol designed for covert WWII operations. It highlights three variants (T1, T1E1, T2) and explains the single-shot firing mechanism activated by a pocket clip. Early models suffered significant reliability issues, leading to redesigns like the T2 with a reinforced breech. Despite no documented operational use, these weapons are noted as dangerous due to their sensitive triggers.

This review delves into rare and experimental firearms from WWII, including a fully automatic Colt Woodsman .22 LR with an extended slide and rapid fire capability. It also showcases a unique hip-mounted Colt 1903 Hammerless designed for covert agents, featuring a solenoid trigger. The discussion extends to SOE-procured suppressors made by Parker-Hale and modified by John Wilkes Bros, and the highly limited 'Carbine S' suppressed M1 Carbine.
