It’s the Xythos pinfire revolver, My grandfather gave it to me 20 years ago.

[@panda4757]

Better call that Marine back and give him some more money!

[@noluckpureskill9985]

That's no cap gun. Cap guns shoot NO projectile, this gun is a pin gun most likely 1.5mm to 2mm bore DOES fire a projectile. These are hundreds of dollars if they're of quality origin

[@panda4757]

That Marine got scammed!

[@jordanw7188]

​@@panda4757nah, he just made a bad deal. he had every opportunity to research what he had ahead of time, and he had the chance to negotiate a higher price. he didn't, he agreed, signed a contract, and left smiling. that's far from being scammed.

[@Peter-vc8lt]

The Vietnam era Marine vet is awesome. He has a lifetime of experiences and is an unsung hero.

[@justing9528]

Yes sir thank you for the guys service.

[@SeethingSimp]

Wasn't the US getting involved in that not even necessary since it had nothing to do with them?

[@johannes7941]

I loved him. Sometimes I feel for them having to sell their stuff for a hundred bucks man… sad times

[@justing9528]

those brave men and women who did their job came home stateside and got no greeting, recognition or a thanks for your service. 9,521 merchant marine did in WW2 39-45 they helped delivery supplies like ammo, equipment, food etc and even troops. The merchant marine had the highest casualties rate of any severce in WW2 and they didn't get their benefits or even get recognised until 1982 for their service.

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.

[@Transparencies-EST.1787]

(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.

My dad passed away last year (2023) from agent orange he was a vietnam veteran. Door gunner, he left me some cool personal items from his time there.

God bless you're brave father, young man. And I want to thank him for his Service! I'm a retired disabled vet. I was a tank commander. I was with 1st of the 1st Cavalry Regiment in Germany. We patrolled a southern section of the West German/Czechoslovakian border. Agent Orange victims got jilted! They had to fight this injustice to get recognized. The VA should've paid up immediately!

The little gun is a pinfire 2mm. It's for sale right now for $420. After you sell it, you should call the old guy back and give him a little more money.

I searched “ world smallest cap gun “ and found the manufacturer and they go for a couple hundred dollars. Looks like they have several models. I didn’t research too far because I’m flying right now. I agree with one comment about a #12 bird shot pellet. Love the videos.

Pete, the way you edited the intro part, I thought that Vietnam vet was going to break down and cry but he didn't.

[@matthewhall3873]

The cap gun is most likely called the xythos tilting barrel revolver or some variation of that. They should be worth $500 or more depending on condition. It may be made by a different company or a different model, but mine is very similar.

Hi from Finland that gun is a real gun, the caps have a small pin on them and they are blanks but you could in the past get a real bullet to fire from it. James Bond had a similar gun as a tie clip, but yours is a lot nicer, great buy fella.
