pen guns

Writing tool weapons

A pen gun is a firearm disguised as a writing pen, typically firing a single small-caliber round.

These concealable weapons are classified as "any other weapon" under U.S. federal law, requiring special registration.

Pen guns appear frequently in spy fiction but exist as real devices: Airport security confiscated a pen gun from his briefcase.
