Tiamat
I've seen the future...
That...sounds so very Russian and makes perfect sense, at least from a Russian standpoint. Insert “In Russia....” joke here.@Tiamat It's an Imperial Russian Navy "Boarding pistol" supposedly; the two are actually detachable and I suppose the idea was that it would be too much weight to carry a hatchet and a detachable buttstock for your Nagant when you were a sailor, so why not replace the detachable buttstock with a hatchet that was also a detachable buttstock?
Wonder how many “accidents” may have or did occur just holding that hatchet blade against ones shoulder.
