I always love finding little collections of images like these. There are few things that man is more inventive with than trying to find new ways to kill each other and these images are a perfect example of how hard we try. I can’t help but think that these items still exist today but with more sophisticated mechanisms and methods for camouflaging them. Some of my favorites is the mini half-moon flintlock and the ring six-shooter.
