This video explores a unique and historically significant firearm: a pepperbox revolver designed to be hidden within bicycle handlebars in the 1890s. Developed as a "velodog" weapon for cyclist self-defense, primarily against dogs, this 6-shot, 5mm pinfire revolver offered a discreet and readily accessible means of protection. The video highlights its simple double-action bar-hammer mechanism and an unusual split-pin cylinder axis, providing insights into the innovative firearm designs of the era aimed at niche self-defense applications.
