Seriously, that's almost identical. Either MJ knows his guns, or he wrote up in Jupyter Notebooks some Artificial Intelligence CLIP algorithms to identify matching images!

Actually, a cowman way down in South Texas was familiar with that type firearm and he answered my query on a cattle board and sent me a link.
Evidently they were known as bicycle guns, fired a variety of charges (tear gas, red pepper, black pepper, salt etc) and were pretty common in Europe and Great Britain in the late 1800s early 1900s as a defense against dogs that like to chase bicyclists.
(When I was a kid, a squirt gun filled with soapy water or a stronger household cleaner worked pretty good)

Interesting, one of the people I spoke with thought it might be a pepper gun. I wasn't sure what he meant. Thanks.

Gosh, sorry. Didn't even think about that thread.
My investigation did result in some interesting responses. Got a bunch of wrong answers but I'm sure maryjane got it right. The funny thing about this is, I got a couple offers from people I asked to buy it. If it wasn't a gift, I would seriously consider it. I really don't have much use for a bicycle gun. There isn't a dog alive that can stay with my Valkyrie.

How dare you deprive 2.5 of a post in his thread. ought to be ashamed of yourself.
You probably done gone and hurt his feelings.
That Valkyrie will do ok till ya come to a stop sign. Dogs can't read.
They don't have to attack to cause problems tho.

 ... Double action, that does sound pretty scary, and it takes mm bullets like those ones cops use!

If you had said an Insult Weapon, I might have agreed.

Did a quick internet search just to see what I could find, 12mm gas cartridges are apparently hard to find.
