Derringer-pistol is a very powerful weapon, what is made for close-range self-defense. It's small, effective and dangerous. There are many calibers of this famous weapon, and the CIA has made the agent-version of this pocket pistol, what looks like cigarette-lighter. If that box is airtight, and the weapon made by anti magnetic materials, that could be easier to carry in the aircraft. But there is one thing, what made this small size pistol very well known. It was used in the assassination of President Lincoln, and this made the very big reputation for pistol, what was found in pockets of gamblers and also many persons of law enforcement carried it for the backup gun for close combat situations.


The normal way to carry this weapon was in the holster, what was in the arm of the skirt, where it was easy to take, and where normal people didn't know to look at it. But there is one thing, what made the weapon what was used in the Lincoln case interesting. That particular 44-caliber prime-lock pistol had the rounded barrel, what could allow using extended barrel in that weapon. The extended barrel would be equipped with the screw thread and the barrel could veil as the cane.


There is the story, that modern Derringers have been equipped with the hexagonal outer layer, because that would be confessed, that the screw thread was not in use. But in fact, the screw thread could be inside the barrel, and the extended part could be put inside the veil. The extended stock could be made by iron stick, and it could be similar, what is used in the assault rifles. The pistol grip must be equipped with the piece, where this stock could be put. And the extended barrel allows using the telescope sight, and this could be one version of this famous handgun, and that allows to use it also for hunting or some other missions. If the caliber is powerful enough, this weapon could be effective many things.

The nasty tricks, what only the criminal mind can do

When we thinking about the situation, that somebody has left bayonet in the chest of a victim, we must consider one thing. That bayonet or knife can be shot to the target by using the crossbow. Normal people would not suspect that the knife would not be the strike to the victim by using the hand. The situation that knife has been shot to the victim can murderer use to mislead the officers of the law to watch another way, and that would leave the criminal change to flee away. This is one of the ways to look at the thing, why crossbows became popular in Europe. Of course, they were very effective in the use by cavalry, and if they have feet-iron under the weapon, could the cavalryman use that weapon by single hand.

And that is the reason, why Wilhelm the Conqueror won the battle of Hastings in 1066. But when we are thinking the very nasty ways to make murders, one of the best could shoot the bayonet in the chest of the victim by using the crossbow. Do you know, why I write this text? The reason for this is I found a 9 mm Parabellum caliber blank patron on the road. And by using that kind of things, is very easy to make one bad thing for the victim. In this trick, the victimized person would make angry by violating all day long. And then the murdered just gives the victim the patrons, what are not functional.

After this, that person might set up that victim as the attacker and uses own weapon to that person. That weapon can be the knife, and then that murderer just calls to police, that he made that thing as the self-defense. The type of that blank patron is quite interesting and this type of patron can be used as the trap, or it might be used to test the pistol or sub-machine gun. When we are thinking about this kind of patrons, they have marked that somebody owns weapon what is suitable for 9 mm. Parabellum patron and all that kind of weapons are automatic- or self-loading pistols and sub-machine guns like Glock 17 or Heckler&Koch MP-5. I don't own the gun or shot this patron, but it was laying on the road and brought this thought to my mind.
