This video examines the Carlstrom sleeve pistol, a unique concealed weapon designed by Elich B. UAZ and manufactured by Elmer Carlstrom. While patented in 1929, its impracticality and likely intended use with non-lethal cartridges like tear gas or blanks are highlighted. The design features a manually cocked striker and a ring-pull firing mechanism, intended for a Spider-Man-like deployment.
This video demonstrates the effectiveness of a Hicory Flat Boris brand cayenne pepper round fired from a 12 gauge shotgun. The demonstration shows the cartridge releasing a dense cloud of pepper spray, confirming its functionality as a less-lethal option. The presenter notes the effect is immediate and unpleasant, though it dissipates faster than traditional tear gas.
This demonstration showcases a rare Israeli 7.62x51 NATO tear gas cartridge, valued between $50 and $1000 per round. Fired from a Savage bolt-action rifle with a Vortex scope, the round's impact on a steel target is captured in high-speed footage, revealing a distinct tear gas cloud. The video highlights the exotic nature of this specialized ammunition.
This entry details the California Arms Co. Defiance, a rare 20-gauge pistol-shotgun from the late 1920s. Expert Ian McCollum highlights its unique 'anti-bandit' design, dual-barrel configuration, and integrated shell storage. The Defiance was designed for both buckshot and tear gas, though the latter proved less effective. It's noted for its robust cast aluminum grip and steel construction, distinguishing it from contemporaries. Today, it falls under NFA regulations as a Short Barreled Shotgun.
