Has anyone ever fired one? It seems like it would actually be a pretty good way of dealing w. the issue of recoil in a small gun... I mean something like this: http://www.genitron.com/unique20.html

Sorry, I don't know how to rename links on this site. The new one looks fairly interesting, but it's only a single shot -- some kind of combination of the two, say -- squeeze to cock*, press w. the thumb to fire, would probably make a neat gun.

*Even neater if it was more of a squeeze cocker, than something to be done w. every shot.

I remember seeing a few different models of those types of guns in various books--there was a neat one that incorporated a brass knuckles with it...from what I remember they were usually small or weak calibers probably nothing bigger then a .40 Rem...

There was also the M1942 FP45 Liberator pistol of WW2 fame that was given by the thousands to partisan troops...One shot disposable easily hidden not accurate beyond 8 to 10 feet
