WW ll "Glove Gun"


Recommended Posts

:ph34r:  One of the redeeming happenings during my weekly podiatry sessions is discussing firearms history, effects, and collector interest with my Dr.  Makes the pains almost worth it......

Last visit he asked if I was familiar with the 'glove gun', a specially constructed glove with a firing mechanism constructed such that when the gloved fist struck a victim, a barrel affixed to the back of the glove would fire.

 

I had to admit I'd never heard of such.  Any of our many WWll history buffs have any information on such a device?

 

 I one-upped him the week before when he was unaware of flechet rounds for 12 ga shotguns.  When I told him they were like beehive artillery rounds but just on a smaller scale, he knew what that meant.

 

Thanks for any input.
