Gun of the Day: Bar Four-Shot Pocket Pistol

This unusual little pocket pistol was designed in Germany with ultimate concealment in mind. Operating without an external hammer and with a folding trigger, this tiny gun all but disappeared when in someone’s pocket. Loaded with four shots, you had to manually rotate the bar magazine in the center of the gun 180 degrees to access the other two shots.
