Why not? It's a gun ain't it? I'm sure they would appreciate a shrunken shrink ray (I know I did)!

Is it to late to say that I'm participating?
I've got a few ideas...

Several modern detectives now claim that “Jack the Ripper” was actually named Carl. “Carl the Ripper” just doesn’t have the same ring.

If its not to late to enter may i present...the Slip Gun!    very simply its a gentleman's last resort/bestfriend working still with blackpowder the slip gun is a two shot pistol to be used in emergencies. not relying on a hammer the user simply presses the plunger on top which strikes the flints on the inside of the gun, which ignites the powder and fires the projectiles. now i know what many people will say about this, that it is too simple looking but i maintain simply that theres an elegance in simplicity and that lets be realistic...this is designed to be unseen

Curse you Wolf, you beat me to it!  Here is my entry: Le Grand Protector, a discreet gentleman's pepperbox pistol.  Lets just hope we don't run in to each other in a gambling hall any time soon.

You're on time Wolf, the contest runs until the 30th.
It's kind neat to see your two diffrent approaches to the same concept. Wolf's looks more dangerous, but and_solo_said's looks more likely to be accurate.

I have plans to make a second, boxed version for a femme fatale friend though, so I'll try to get pictures of that.

WHAT!?! Are you suggesting that I give away my valuable trade secrets!? I should shoot you where you stand, sir! I used a 4-port 8-22mm pipe manifold (a thing what connects four 8mm pipes to a 22mm one). I had been wondering how to make a ring gun for almost a year when I stumbled across them on ebay. They also come with 10mm 'barrels', but the 8mm ones hold the explodey bit (gun terminology: not my thing) from a shotgun shell very nicely (they're what I used for the bullet bases).

Nice work. I'm going to have to see if I can find a couple of those "barrels". By the way: The explodey bit is called a "primer".

Incidentally, Wolf, someone on deviantart compared my gun to the WWII OSS glove gun (which is fired by punching your opponent), but I think its much more akin to your weapon.

For my contest entry I have chosen a USB drive, a brand new model called the Steampunk Diver. The drive holds 16Gb, and the diver's helmet lights up when the drive is in use.

A fabulous series of entries. I would like to submit the following.  Gaming chips from the Airship Casino christened the Silver Lining. Each piece was pyrographically etched using ivory from the deadly and carnivorous Faux. That's right, 100% authentic Faux Ivory. The reverse of each chip carries the image of the beautiful cruising vessel, the latest in modern airship style and luxury from the fine people at the Pb Balloon Co. And now the silly and boring reality. Some very handy wooden nickels from the hobby shop painted and etched with the trusty wood burner. Thank you all for your time.
