Wink Derringer 0.8mm

Hi! Want to know your opinion about my miniature guns. I produced my new gun - Derringer 0.8 mm caliber. It is smaller than my last creation - Derringer 1 mm caliber. I am inspired by them. But I need feedback from you. So what do you think about so tiny guns?)

Pretty neat. How do you make loads for them? What do you shoot with them?

Beautiful work! Do you have any videos of the guns in action?
James Purdey and Sons made a functioning miniature side by side shotgun for King George V. Apparently he hunted moths with it...

Thank you for nice words! My gun shoots centerfire rounds filled with bullets.
Bullets made out of hardened steel. In order a bullet does not deform when
shot into any surface. Cartridges are not stamped. For the production of
them I used special highly precised watchmaking machine. Since a gunpowder
in such small volumes can not fulfill its role, the cartridges have a special
powerful explosive composition. The chemical recipe is the secret of production. I charge my cartridges manually.
It's very sensitive and painstaking process.

Thank you! The development of my first gun took 1,5 years. It`s not so difficult to make tiny details of how to make so small gun shooting)

For those who were interested in my rounds All of them are centerfire, I charge my cartridges manually. It's very sensitive and painstaking process.))
