German Gas Pistols,In 1920’s Germany there was a surge in popularity for small less than lethal “gas pistols” due to the strict gun control laws enforced by the new German Republic. As a result civilians began turning to gas pistols as a means of self defense, as there were no laws governing the ownership of non-lethal weapons.The pistol above is an example. Made by Gerstenberger & Co, this small pistol fires a 6mm gas cartridge, either tear gas or powdered tobacco. They were easy to carry, easy to use, and most important legal. As well as a gas pistols, this gun can also fire blanks, small flares, and insecticide. -- source link
