    The small pistol is made in Austria. The brand name is Xythos. It is a blank gun. People have placed a single “number 12” birdshot in the pinfire cartridge ammo and it can be somewhat dangerous (mama said that you will shoot your eye out.

    (Xythos)
    SwissMiniGun is the smallest revolver that can shoot live ammunition, and it has been recognized by the Guinness Book of Records. It’s a replica of the “Colt Python” manufactured in Switzerland. Although there are smaller single-shot pistols made by private individuals, they don’t match the functionality of the SwissMiniGun. It has a six-shot mechanism, only 23% of the original size.
    On the other hand, the “Xythos” revolver is even smaller with a 2mm caliber, 40mm length, 28mm height, and a weight of 14 grams. However, it’s designed for shooting skyrockets and is considered a sporting gun. You can also attach a unique accessory on the barrel of the Xythos to shoot pin cartridges. Despite its small size, it’s an impressive firearm.
