Don’t judge a gun by its size, because these little poppers can still be deadly! Here’s an awesome collection of incredibly tiny guns and really weird vintage weapons. For example, the world’s smallest pistol hails from Switzerland and is no bigger than 2.16 inches. But with a firing range of 112 meters, it’s still not a bullet I’m willing to jump in front of.

One of the funniest miniatures is a working Luger at 2/5 the scale of its normal size counterpart. It looks like a toy! Even though it’s a little bit bigger than the key chain Swiss gun, a pocket full of these little shooters makes up a mini arsenal.

I wonder what kind of recoil the guns give off? Either way, it’s sure better than using a hedgehog for a weapon. So watch your back Lipstick Gun, there’s a new ultra weapon of concealment in town.

They say the devil is in the details, but they generally don’t mean that literally.  In the case of a fresco painted by Italian artist Giotto in the 13th Century, the devil literally is in the details.  Historians have discovered a devil face depicted in the clouds in a fresco depicting the life of St. [...]

A fisherman named Enrique Lucero León caught a pregnant dusky shark near Cerralvo Island in Mexico.  When he dragged the fish on board, he noticed something strange after cutting it open.  There were nine normal shark fetuses inside, and one… oddity.  Inside its womb was one of the rarest finds in all of the sea:  Enrique [...]

Sometimes, it seems like gorillas are from another planet.  They’re huge and fearsome and potentially dangerous, but they’re also capable of incredible sweetness and gentle behavior.  For example, when a lost baby duckling ended up in the gorilla enclosure in the Bronx Zoo in New York, visitors waited with bated breath to see what might [...]
