Wild Wild west/Taxi Driver gun device
This is a bit off topic but I've always had wicked good luck/help on here and that is why I ask on here, plus who else would I talk to about it anyway, besides movie prop guys. Does anyone remember the device that was in the old Wild Wild West tv show and in the movie Taxi Driver that was mounted on the forearm covered up by a shirt/jacket, that when triggered it would spring forward and put a gun right in your hand? It is also used in a lot of other movies also. I always thought it was cool as hell and would be a wicked fun/conversation piece. I've seen it called a "sleeve Gun" but can't find any information on it using sleeve gun as a keyword? Maybe called something else? I always wanted to make one a a novelty piece but can't work out the "trigger" for it too spring forward. It is "triggered" by moving your hand in a certain direction but I can't figure out how to make it triggered like that because it would accidentally pop out when you didn't want too because you moved your hand so that would never work or if you did it that way you could never move your hand in that certain way which would limit you ability on how you can move. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this device, the whole device not just the trigger, or if you have any ideas on just how to make the trigger? Anyone already make it? Its not illegal to make or own it either because if you don't have a permit to carry a weapon its illegal to carry one at all. If you have a permit you could wear it because it doesn't matter if your gun is concealed by it or a holster, no permit its always illegal to carry but with a permit a concealed gun is a concealed gun so it wouldnt be illegal. Here is a picture of it I found, but it isn't practical at all because you can see it is triggered by moving you hand down, which would either limit your movement, meaning never move your hand down unless you wanted to trigger it, or you would be triggering it accidentally all the time, which is a problem.

Anti Garroting Belt Gun - Approx. .50 cal.; 1.5?__ barrel. - Possible reproduction in very good condition. - Crisp mottled gray metal; working. This design reportedly originated as a French belt gun, worn pointing backwards, to thwart garroting thugs.
With this handy device mounted on the belt & a string attached to the trigger running up his sleeve, the assaultee could ruin the day of le mugger. -0 -
I'd like one in 2 3/4 12 gauge.
How do you make 12 gauge tracers ??
