ATF approved as a pistol, but I found curious that on page two it states that the ATF has issued notice of proposed rule making amending the definition of a pistol. Anyone know what that rule making is?
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is
proposing to amend the regulations
relating to machine guns, destructive
devices, and certain other firearms
regulated under the National Firearms
Act (NFA) for the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
(ATF) to clarify the definition of the
term ‘‘pistol’’ and to define more clearly
exceptions to the ‘‘pistol’’ definition.
The added language is necessary to
clarify that certain weapons, including
any weapon disguised to look like an
item other than a firearm or any gun that
fires more than one shot without
manual reloading by a single function of
the trigger, are not pistols and are
classified as ‘‘any other weapon’’ under
the NFA.
This maybe ? (from April, 2005)...
It goes into much broader detail in the link...

Didn't the navy issue "fist guns" to seabees in WWII?
Kind of a glove thing with a plunger and a lockwork and barrel.
It was situated on the back of the hand.
When the wearer made a fist, the plunger and barrel were exposed: the user could punch an attacker, depressing the plunger discharging a .45 round into what ever he struck.
I googled everything I could think of, and found nothing.
Oh my GAWD!!! The AG office needs to know where that is available so they can send the seller a threatening letter and get that WMD off the streets and out of the hands of our children.
PS. Yes, that looks like a finger but it looks like something else also.
