2mm pistol! World's smallest gun?
 
Look at this, the gun is so small but it shoots real bullets!

This revolver's caliber is 2mm. Just to keep it in perspective, a single #9 birdshot, too small to be effective en masse for quail and doves, is .080" or .08 caliber,i or 2.03 mm in diameter. That's the power of this gun, and even then it fires from perhaps a 3/4" barrel.

There are 585 of these #9 birdshot pellets in an ounce, so my Taurus Judge revolver with a Super-X 3" .410 shell fires 439 of these #9 bird shot from a 3" barrel in one blast. It's all just amazing to think of the scale, going both ways. I am like a C-130 loaded with gatling-guns, Spectre' or 'Puff the Magic Dragon' in firepower to them and other insect-sized creatures!
My .410 Judge = http://abunchofnothing.net/blog/AC130Spectre.jpg against an army armed with little guns http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2179/...75d128.jpg?v=0

You better hope the Lilliputians (of Gulliver's Travel's) never get a hold of these tiny sophisticated weapons... but it will take a lot of them to equal one of us.

It's the smallest pistol in my collection! I've had it about 20 years and I'd say it was made in the 50's. Got it at an estate sale in Florida. Shoot yourself in the finger with it, it'll draw blood, Ouch!

Here's a website run by a guy who still makes these himself.

I'd buy one just for the novelty of it, but I can't find any place that sells ammunition for the things. :bawling:
