I’ve got a North American Arms revolver. You can’t hit anything at 5’, no lie. Somehow this is even worse. LOL, bullets probably come out sideways.
I’ve never understood this.
Seems so impractical, compared to carrying knuckles, a gun, and a knife.
What are you supposed to do, start with the knuckles and flip the thing open into gun mode if things go south? It’s incredibly fussy.
I’m thinking it’s mostly a weapon of intimidation, personally, but what I don’t know about pre-WW1 French gangsters fills libraries, lmao
It’s probably supposed to be concealed so you get to carry one thing. Either knuckles a gun or a knife, this allows you to not have to choose before you gool out at least.
Granted if you think you may need a gun, why not just bring a real one that you can conceal. I don’t know.
