PIKESVILLE, Md. -- Two of nine American bison that escaped from Buzz Berg's Stevenson, Md. farm run from police and volunteers on a tennis court at Greene Tree gated community in Pikesville, Md. Police herded the buffalo into the courts before herding them into a trailer and returning them to their farm. (04/26/05 AP photo)

MINNEAPOLIS -- A new twist on the idea of concealable weapons, the credit card-sized shotgun, is shown at Koscielski's Guns and Ammo, the only gun shop in Minneapolis. It's a two-shot weapon machined from a block of metal the height and width of a standard credit card, and about a half-inch thick. Each barrel fires seven standard steel BBs. It will retail for $100. Mark Koscielski, owner of Koscielski's Guns and Ammo, and Patrick Teel, who makes the guns in suburban Blaine, gave The Associated Press a preview Tuesday night ahead of a news conference scheduled for Wednesday. They said the guns are meant to be used only for close-range self-defense and wouldn't be effective as offensive weapons. (10/05/04 AP photo)
 
no, no.. not derringers... real single shot pistols built up as wallets. A nice little 'gotcha' for a mugger. Not a sizeable caliber, mind you... just a little .22 or .32 short.

I would only call it a shotgun if the velocity of those BBs coming out were extreme. It just doesn't sound like it has any knockback power. Now if it were a single lancet barb ... that would be something. That would make someone scream like an Elvis fan when shot in the belly.

I Read a bit more about it... muzzle-loaded, does about teh same damage as a .22 but more wounds, so more blood. Manufacturer says that its more of a distraction.

I don't know about you, but placing a loaded and electrically charged 'gun' in my pocket isn't something I relish. Gimme a wallet that shoots out pepper-spray if the main goal is for me to 'get away' from the mugger.

Less chance of an auto-vasectomy :p
