Скачать или смотреть Rare Guns: Key Pistols

Key pistols were manufactured between the 17th century through the mid 19th century and were a combination of a key and a firearm.

Most Key Guns were made for jailers for self-defense. The idea being the design was, that the jailer could use the same object to open the cell door and to shoot, if prisoners tried to escape or attack.

Jailers were not the only users of key guns. Armories and banks also have recorded use of these guns.

The earliest key guns were quite primitive, but over time they progressed to flintlock versions and percussion cap styles. Very few genuine key-guns remain today.
