Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Deadly Contraption: A compact, homemade firearm, sold in Mexico for $25, has been discovered in the United States by the Chula Vista, Calif., Police Department. The concealable weapon, measuring 514 inches by 1 inch by 12 inch and weighing 9 ounces, is capable of firing two .22-caliber short, long, or long-rifle cartridges. Both barrels are rifled, and an extractor ejects spent casings when the weapon is broken. Pulling the serated knob at the rear of the weapon straight back cocks the firing pins. With the safety in the “fire” position, pressing one or both buttons behind the barrels on top of the weapon will fire it.
