Ok, I need to add in a very important note, the OSS didn't really get to play with the SGG (Sedgley Glove Gun), but engineers on the Normandy beaches actually got their hands on, or were issued, a large number of SGGs during the DDay landings as a close in self defense gun while clearing trenches, bunkers and other random fortifications, where they actually saw limited, albeit noted, use when fighting got close up, and I know this because my Exes grandfather earned the Silver Star, Purple Heart and his CIB on Utah beach, and I saw numerous pictures of him with a very distinctive glove on, with a gun on the back that were taken shortly before and after the landings took place. According to his son, my exes dad, he actually did get to fire off a grand total of 4 shots with his SGG against enemy troops when him and his unit took a small gauge rail complex that supplied coastal artillery sites with ammunition. Clearing rooms, him with his SGG and something like 30lb of satchel charges and another man with a Thompson, had numerous run ins with emplaced infantry within the complex where he earned his purple heart after losing an ear, finger and getting shot through the collar bone.

As someone who makes items out of leather, I would suggest a leather washer inside the glove. It would reduce the risk of tear out.

[@HauntedChronicles]

@@venumus1 You could do that, but I know from experience that backing that thin leather with a veg tan washer will resist the pull through, as well. The sheet metal would wear on the inside of the glove, and eventually tear through; the screw would not pull through, but the edge of the sheet metal, even rounded and polished, would wear through it over time.

[@jeffbanks5103]

​@@HauntedChroniclesI think a big problem might also be the type of glove he's using. Most likely originals would have been used on a pigskin or cowhide which don't stretch as much as deer or goatskin (that's kind of what that glove looks like) but I agree, thick vegtan washer would give it way more support

[@jg2072]

Whether this was used by OSS others can figure that out. But Brandon's words about OSS operators using this and getting bloody made me think of actor Christopher Lee's description of knife work as an operative.

@@Chirishman6Another interesting WWII celebrity fact is that Jon Pertwee was one of 6 sailors of the HMS Hood to survive it's sinking, 3 in the water, Jon and 2 others were on land doing training.

If I’m not mistaken, this little gun was made for Navy SeaBees and construction workers in high risk war zones. Originally it was mounted on a gauntleted leather work glove.

[@MichaelSteinmetzSUP]

You are absolutely correct. The intended usage was for seabees, the glove gun was created after an officer watched a seabea killed because he was unable to defend himself inside the bulldozer in a close quarters fight.

[@joshtiscareno1312]

Well, that's what they SAY it's for. Because they don't want to admit it was really an OSS assassination weapon. It's way too clumsy and dangerous for a Seebee weapon (those guys have WORK to do when they hit the shore). I'm pretty sure the idea is that you walk around some European country (cold so you can have it concealed in your coat), and then body-punch your target. Their clothing will help muffle the sound of the shot and the gasses will be channeled into the wound where they will make it exponentially worse. Brandon used this for head-punching (as they did in Inglorious Basterds), but it was noisy because they head is bony and round, and there's nothing to muffle the sound of the shot. But a clothed body would be something else entirely (you're basically using the body as a silencer).

[@Sniperboy5551]

@joshtiscareno1312 You would think those documents would be declassified by now, but I guess it’s the OSS/CIA. Even FOIA doesn’t mean anything to them. I respect it, but it pisses me off.

I've seen a drawing of this thing about 20 years ago in an encyclopedia for children. I remember also being puzzled how it even got to spy gear category, or how it is a CQB-only firearm, which kinda eliminates the original purpose. If memory serves me well, that drawing had something like a string to fire this thing by squeezing the fist really hard, allowing user to actually shoot it a couple meters away from target. Even pen-guns seemed more helpful than this. Really nice to see an actual thing actually put in use, thank you!

[@pieterveenders9793]

Closely watching the ultra slow-mo footage I noticed it actually had a dual effect. When Brandon punched the test dummy in the head and set off the .38 special, it blew about a 7-8 cm hole in the skull with quite a messy blowback. However I then noticed that the pistol sticking out from the Sedgley (the trigger) then entered the hole in the skull and stirred a bit around inside it. So not only does it produce a massive point blank .38 special bullet hole in the skull, but directly after that the piston entered the bullet hole and scrambled the brain just like one of those captive bolt guns they use to humanely kill cattle with. Like they thought; "the chance of surviving a .38 special point blank straight to the forehead is already low, but we want to make sure it's ZERO"...

Yep- Seabees we’re issued this. Mainly for those working heavy machinery- like dozers.

[@tenchraven]

A reference to that was where I fist came across them. The theory that a Seabee driving a bulldozer could repel boarders.

[@TheWirksworthGunroom]

This was the description I heard of these in a magazine article nearly forty years ago. It would have been "Handgunner" magazine in the UK. The idea being that stay behind Japanese troops were jumping out on airfield construction crews who couldn't practically carry carbines or deploy pistols from holsters fast enough to respond before being stabbed. So few were made because they weren't found to be all that practical and the war was very nearly over. For a bit of silent death, OSS were more likely to "borrow" a WELROD from their cousins in SOE as this is hardly a concealed weapon nor subtle in use. Interesting demonstration though.

[@Shaun_Jones]

I’ve also heard a rumor/theory that this was also intended for Seabees (US Navy combat engineers for the uninitiated); the idea being that if a Japanese commando tried to climb into your bulldozer and run you through with a Katana (which was a legitimate possibility, the Pacific theater got ugly), you just had to punch him in the face and then get back to building your airfield.

My grandfather hated that gun for 2 reasons. Post WW2 he was in a gun prototype program that took different guns from WW2 and “upgrade” or create from. He hated that $100,000 in 1947 went to upgrading that glove gun and that so many dogs were killed in the testing of that weapon. Out of the 3 tested upgrades, there was one with a 3 rounds mini revolver. The weirdest upgrade was to many the barrel longer and “trigger knock” longer too. The United States Army thought one day Special Forces could have one of those guns in .45 Caliber and hold at least 3 rounds. Only 1 working prototype was made and it weighed about 5 pounds more than the original.

[@janwitts2688]

Back in the 70s I remember seeing a diagram of this in a comic book... even as a kid I could easily have constructed one... a lot better than a liberator pistol..

[@chrissewell1608]

Ah yes! Was that a 50's, 60's or 70's comic book? Probably during the Cold War era. Good stuff! I am NOT surprised. You probably could have bought one pre-made for $0.45 back then! Opps! Don't forget AND the 7 box tops!

[@janwitts2688]

@chrissewell1608 Cold war was 50s to 90s.. British comic costing 7p... back in the day you could have slrs and handguns in the UK... second hand firearms were expensive back then maybe 80 or more gbp but ammo was cheap .. just a few pennies per round... exchange rate would slew that upwards in cents but not as bad as the 80s when you could get 3 plus usd for 1 gbp ... but given the limited munition requirement and simplicity of design you could just make the lot from common materials using normal toolshop with identical results..

[@Corsair092]

Once again, the Seabees get forgotten.. This was deigned for heavy equipment operators who were working on islands still often in contest between the US and the Imperial Japanese Army. If some dozer operator was expanding a fire zone, or working on an airfield, and was attacked by the enemy, they had at least one punch before going for the carbine. It was designed to be on a work glove, because it was a last-ditch defence for a working man.

[@wellfuckyoumr]

According to the other 10000 comments saying the same thing, they were in fact, not forgotten.

[@AlexOnABoat]

The fact that this is a Sedgley Mk2 means that somewhere there is a Sedgley Mk1. Brandon, you know what you've got to do.

[@phileas007]

the Mk1 was just the glove. Does require a bit more force to achieve the same results.

[@FokkerBoombass]

I'm honestly surprised that you actually wore it yourself. When you first teased it I fully expected some fake-fist-on-a-stick setup with MAYBE a single real hand punch as a meme if it seemed safe enough. Absolute mad lad.

[@marcuscampos229]

My whole time watching Brandon for like the past 3 years I never noticed I wasn’t subscribed🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

The splatter on your glove really closely matches the marks on the one in the Japanese museum 😮

Imagine Brandon using the sword gun. That would be another cool, unique piece of history. Granted it’s probably the most awkward thing to use but Brandon could make a good content out of it. Hopefully they’re not too rare to find

First learned about them in GI Combat comics, which used to come in those multi comic packs at gas stations back in the 70's/early 80's. In addition to great story series like The Haunted Tank, there would be blurbs scattered throughout about various military equipment, mostly WWII era. When they covered this particular device they either implied or stated that it was for use by CBs. I guess you can't trust comics for accurate history ;)

[@ahhamartin]

OSS Superspy (another '82 GI Combat subseries) had the agent stab a "mole" with a "flexible knife". Even then I wondered, if it could bend into a hatband (as stated in the story), how was it stiff enough to stab with? But ah, the Joe Kubert era..

[@voidwalker5784]

I found out about this gun years ago but I could never find any footage of it anywhere and buying one was always out of the question. I just want you to know that you gave me a dream I always wished for. Thanks Brandon.

[@rainwalker3515]

Seeing these historic and unique guns its incredible. I'll never forget the day where I saw on old lady give up a german luger to a gun buyback program here in Canada. She traded it for some dinky camera for her church, I just couldnt help but think the history being loss there. All the guns in a gun buyback program were destroyed. Damned shame.
