Wow! That is the tinniest gun I've ever seen! If it backfires, does it blow your finger off? Whoa.

If I'm not mistaken, that's an Austrian-made 2-millimeter pinfire. (About one third the diameter of a .22 cartridge.)

You practically need tweezers to pick up the cartridges, and the cartridges of that day used black powder -- if any powder was used at all. Something that small probably used only primer compound just as the earliest .22's did.

Think of the hole in the ring as being slightly larger in diameter than a nickel, and you'll be able to imagine just how tiny the cartridge is.

Not exactly what one would call powerful.

Here's something close:

Although finding ammunition for an antique like that would be pretty difficult.

You would have to be close for it to do anything. I'm thinking if Jack let's someone get that close his Spyderco would do the job, or even a fountain pen. But then again, Jack has those long thumbnails too.Cool
Besides, he doesn't strike me as the kinda of guy to wear distinguishing jewelry, if any at all.

I wanted to ask Paul about that. Have those thumbnails ever been mentioned after LEGACIES?
