Colette was a Belgian gun manufacturer that made this interesting parlor pistol. It used a rocketball type of cartridge, in which the powder and primer were encased in the hollow base of the bullet to make a caseless cartridge. The gravity pistol was named for its gravity feed mechanism and its 20-round capacity. Because of the very limited powder capacity of this type of cartridge, these pistols were made solely for sporting and recreational use, without an attempt at military adoption.

I knew a gunsmith who kept a Ruger Mk II with a suppressor in his workshop for plinking. He had a bullet trap on the wall maybe 15 feet from his workbench, and when I asked him if he actually shot the gun inside his response was to chamber a round and fire it into the trap. Made about as much noise as somebody clapping their hands very hard. The smoke wasn't a problem because it was in his workshop where he did metalworking and such so he had a powerful ventilation system.

Rudyard Kipling has a novel,Stalky & Company,where a plot point involves British public(private) schoolboys having access to a parlour pistol. Imagine getting caught with a firearm nowadays,age 16 or so. Based apparently on some of his own recollections. Height of the Raj,Greek and Latin,caning,gowns,headmasters,shades of Tom Brown.Readable,downloadable.

I know A.A. Milne, the Winnie the Pooh author, gave a little pop-gun to his son Christopher Robin. He took it away though when a neighborhood friend of his blew a couple of fingers off.

I must admit, the title immediately reminded me of a Civil War-era humorist, whose account of new weapons being considered by the Government included the *"Mountain Howitzer"*. It promised a great savings on gunpowder: you mounted it on a high hilltop; and when the enemy came in view, you simply tilted the barrel down, and let the ball fall on them.

it was a very goon idea for sport shooting and festival ranges: "Hit 7 out of 10 targets and win the prize Lad! hit all 20 and take what you want!" and the cleaning hole was a briliant idea, no need to disassemby the whole gun to take out the barrel.
