weinersoldier:Get a load of this non-standard sidearm configuration–two small-capacity derringer pistols, both strapped at the winter soldier’s (most likely) dominant side:Top is a COP .357 Derringer pistol, chambered for four .357 Magnum cartridges–it’s a heavy, huge size for a Derringer, but it’s a solid choice for a defensive weapon, often chosen as a back-up piece for law enforcement because of its powerful cartridgeBottom looks to be an Intratec TEC-38 two-shot polymer-framed pistol, housing .38 Special cartridges–guns this size, this small of a capacity, don’t serve much purpose in distance or combat. They’re meant for close-range (contact-range/point-blank) defensive use, or as a last resort.Given this set-up, these two weapons are the winter soldier’s penultimate and final outs. The COP .357 can get off four shots, enough to take out four attackers if he’s not already disabled or trapped, but he doesn’t appear to be packing anything to reload and both these weapons are a different caliber than his other sidearms.That 2-shot pistol, that’s the Winter Soldier’s cyanide capsule. That’s his way out–one .38 to the hollow of his jaw is his nuclear option, the one that he probably doesn’t even know is there, the one that’s simmering just below the surface of the mission that’s forced into his mind.The winter soldier doesn’t lose; but if he did, if he could, if he was–All assets are disposable. -- source link
