The weapon measures 65⁄8 inches (168 mm) in length. The cartridge is placed into the unscrewed polished metal part on the front of the gun. It is fired by pulling back the bolt (spring type) and letting go. According to the official who made the photographs available, the weapon fired a shot when tested. |
