Produced in the 1800's,
the (probably French made) ring pistol is a perfect example of what was
known as “la petite protectors”. The ring pistol once was one of the
smallest killing devices ever developed.There doesn’t seem to be much
info around regarding the practicality of the finger mounted firearm
however, after a long search it appears some believe that: If it were
fired, the smoke, flames, and noise would be considerable. The muzzle
velocity would probably be so low that the powder burn would be worse
than the bullet”
