ABSTRACT:
An elongated tubular barrel is provided having front and rear end portions. The rear end portion of the barrel includes chamber structure for removably chambering a cartridge in the barrel. Firing pin structure for firing a cartridge chambered in the barrel is provided and is shiftable between ready and firing positions. A palm grip is supported from the rear end portion of the barrel of a size to be substantially enclosed within one hand with the forward end of the barrel of the weapon projecting forwardly and outwardly between adjacent fingers of the hand. The forward end of the barrel tapers in wall thickness to a circumferentially unobstructed thin wall portion at the forward terminal end of the barrel, whereby the forward terminal end may be thrust forwardly against a flesh target and at least partially penetrate the target substantially simultaneously with the firing of a cartridge chambered in the barrel.
