This video showcases the rare Sedgley Mark II 'Glove Gun,' a WWII-era firearm designed to fire upon impact. Demonstrations include its use on a mannequin and various objects like watermelons and coconuts, highlighting the effectiveness of a .38 Special round at contact distance. A 'Boot Gun' variation is also presented, demonstrating a similar impact-activated firing mechanism.

The Sedgley Glove Gun was a highly unusual, single-shot .38 S&W pistol produced in very limited numbers for the US Navy during WWII. Designed as a last-ditch weapon for captured personnel, it featured a plunger trigger and a pivot-open action. Despite its military contract, there's no evidence of combat use, and its impractical design, including being issued as a single glove, limited its utility.
