Not sure if this goes here... or in another category.

You'll see what I mean when you click this.

Interesting, no?

Very cool. I have seen them put percussion and flintlock pistols into just about everything, but that's a new one for me.

That's pretty cool. Looks like sumthin my Uncle would put into his collection.

[Shtick]

I wonder which is louder, the pistol or the whip?

[lingarn]

Wouldn't the odd hinge at the end of the gun affect how the whip functions? Or do you think they'd hold it by the broad part just past the muzzle (which begs the question, why have the gun and whip attached in the first place)?

You might be whipping something, man or animal, that decides it doesn't want to put up with it anymore.

Also provides a bit of a surprise if you were, say, a teamster and someone decides to hijack your cargo. From a distance it's just a whip.

Once the percussion cap, and then internally primed cartridges, came about, innovative gunsmiths were putting guns in everything imaginable.

Utility wasn't the highest purpose.

Click on the link at the bottom of that page, there's a whole pile of examples.

LOL at the Hand Cannon.

[McFly]

It brings new meaning to "pistolwhip!" That's pretty cool.
