What would you do to improve this design?

>sacrificing the barrel just to be able to stab with a toothpick
can you even conceal this in the palm of the hand without slitting your wrist?

forgo the folding bullshit and just make you aim it like a flashlight

Throw away the toothpick, you already have brass knuckles in design. Maybe replace it with some sort of foldable barrel

Put a fucking barrel on it
Not make it .22 rimfire (call me crazy, but I think the gun you punch people with should be drop safe)
Longer blade
Trigger guard
Basically just make it bigger. It's probably the size of a child's fist because it's made for malnourished 1800s Frenchmen
The biggest improvement I'd make is throwing it in the trash and carrying a real gun, a real knife, and a real set of brass knuckles
Did this thing even exist, or was it cobbled together to put in a novelty shop next to Jake The Alligator Man?

They’re folding. Probably still a bit large for concealing with just your hand, but then again, I have a feeling that being seen is their primary purpose.

Chamber it in .500 S&W Mag

In what situation would you ever pull this out and punch with it, and then decide your best course of action is to unfold it to stab or shoot with?
That isn't going to be quicker than having a separate gun and knife and knuckleduster, or sap or whatever
At the very least, replace the knuckleduster grip with a solid beak grip, and accept that you don't punch with it folded but instead hammer fist with it held in a normal grip, which makes much more sense

A Blunt weapon knocks you out
A gun shot is loud
A blade is quiet and kills you.
It's a multi-tool

I find it funny that mall ninjas have always existed and they aren’t a product of the “tactical” era. It’s just easier to notice.

pointed knurl on the bottom of the knuckleduster as a skull cracker

multitools that aren't leathermans fucking suck. I think this gun fits that statement.

>>64492857
If you get jumped, you can still use it as a duster.
If you have time to prepare, you unfold it, shoot it, then go in for multiple stabs, prison shiv style.

>>64492615 (OP)
What if they made brass knuckle derringers where the knuckle parts are triggers that get pulled with compression so when you punch someone they shoot?

>>64494495
There were a number of novelty designs around back then. Kniveguns seem to have been the most common.

combine
>Protector Palm Pistol
>m1918 mk1 trench knife
>Stiletto Switch blade (side folding type)
so you can shoot while you punch while you stab

Pretty sure thats from fallout
