Zippo Lighter Is Actually a Gun

Posted by John Farrier in Society & Culture, Weapons & War on July 27, 2011 at 7:31 pm

This unique firearm recently sold at auction. It looks like a Zippo lighter, but actually fires 6mm cartridges which are kept in a flint dispenser. The bullets come out of where the wick normally is, and the trigger is the striking wheel. There are more pictures at the link. Link -via Technabob | Photo: Gregg Martin Auctions
