Yup!  Believe it or not there was a short run of WWII German Buckle guns that operated similarly.

[Pat Riot]

I don’t remember those. I wonder what the hat weighed? My guess is it was too heavy to be comfortable. It also looks to be all plastic. Plastic hat on a hot day. Yuck!

[Cypress Sun]

I remember the commercials for the hat and wanted one but never saw one in the flesh.

 

Plastic hat on a hot day...Hah, no day was too hot when I was a kid, plastic hat (usually a WWII helmet of some type as we had straw CB hats) didn't matter...even in Florida. Back then, it was cooler.

Wasn't there  Have Gun, Will Travel Derringer buckle as well?

Not plastic.

Good thing it's a cap gun.

 

First, you have to keep it cocked. Then, when you activate it, and it comes up out of the hat, it sweeps you from your navel to your nose.

Not only that but after the first time deploying the hat gun, the bad guys didn't bother to tell you to reach, they just shot you in the back....kind of like they did in the real west.

I'm kind of a strange person myself (some of y'all may have noticed that).

 

First, I don't think you should point a gun at somebody unless you're perfectly willing to blow a hole in them. Not necessarily wanting to shoot them, but perfectly willing to shoot them if the need arises.

 

Now if I point a gun at somebody, and tell them to do something, and they either do not do it or they do something else entirely - well in that case the need has arose, and I believe I would shoot them.

 

I watch some cop show, and they tell the bad guy to put his hands in the air, and instead he clapsed his hands behind his head.

 

Shoot him.

 

The cop tells the bad guy not to move, and the bad guy keeps moving. Shoot him. Raylan Givens did that in one episode.

 

And if I tell the guy to put his hands in the air, and instead he turns around and takes his hat off - shoot him.

I bet those things are worth a fortune now days

[Ozark Huckleberry]

If you wore it in a match, wouldn't you have to show it clear at the ULT?

[Caladisi kid]

 Now that is some sweeping!  

[Alpo]

I wonder if he was practicing or showing off? It looks like a tarp on the ground that he's standing on. Doesn't seem that that would give a whole lot of protection if he dropped the gun though.

 

I read one time about James Stewart who was going to make his first Western. He said he strapped on the gun belt, and stood in the middle of his bed, and practiced drawing it and holstering it and doing all the stuff he needed to do with it, and when he dropped it it landed on the mattress and didn't mess it up.

A lot of justification there,

I recall an LEO cousin being told of a NAZI/SS type belt buckle gun that could spring out with some kind of activation.
