This video examines the Carlstrom sleeve pistol, a unique concealed weapon designed by Elich B. UAZ and manufactured by Elmer Carlstrom.

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.

This demonstration showcases a rare Israeli 7.62x51 NATO tear gas cartridge, valued between $50 and $1000 per round.

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.
