Nazi belt buckle pistol

The belt buckle pistol was an experimental German World War II firearm consisting of four 7.65 mm or .22 LR[1] barrels and lockwork concealed within a SS belt buckle. The barrels were 2" long and Smoothbore. A lever was pressed which allowed the spring-loaded buckle to pivot downwards, exposing the barrel.[2][3]
