This video demonstrates the French Brun-Latrige Model 1900 pocket pistol. It clearly shoots an odd, small round (probably 8mm, but it looks like the cartridge must be tiny) out of a built-in box magazine of 8 or 10 rounds capacity. It’s pretty stylish and odd looking… looks like something the prop makers for Deep Space 9 would have slapped together for Random Alien Of The Week.

It seems like it’d be difficult to hit anything with this at more than point-blank range; but even if you did, the wimpy bullet would not exactly be a man-stopper. Still, it looks kinda neat. Scale it up by ten percent, run it off the 3D printer, and maybe it’d be a dandy shooter of .380 or even maybe 9mm.
