You would not part an old man from his walking stick

Ooh, even better. Ash is always the answer, good one, friend.
Glocking stick?
Wait untill you see my America enchanted gauntlet.
Yeah this was an actual real thing developed by the OSS during WW2, primarily for assasinations, the Sedgley Glove Gun.
One side is a plunger trigger, the other side is a one shot .38 cal gun.
… It pretty much just is a glove with a gun duct taped to it, it was used in Inglorious Basterds, and also real life, it literally is just punch someone in the head and also shoot them in the head at the same time.
Also, I have actually played in a TTRPG campaign, with this.
Not DnD, but a custom made Delta Green campaign.
Something like this works pretty easily in its standard ruleset, our setting was the 1960s, my character was an OSS->CIA analyst who’d kept this glove gun as a momento from a field agent … Delta Green has a whole sanity mechanic that involves people and things your character holds dear, that tether them to reality… this was one of them, for my character.
EDIT:
American Magic, as explained in 18 seconds, by the TF2 Engineer.
Oh good. I thought the plunger was on the finger side. I was thinking I would blow my own ring finger off with this thing.
The plunger is closest to the viewer of the image, the gun barrel is further away.
So, you make a fist, and the plunger extends out from uh, on top of the ridge between your pointer and index finger’s first knuckles, the gun barrel is over to the right.
Should be fine if you keep your hand as a fist.
I guess you could blow your finger off if you are wearing this, and then splay your fingers out against a wall, but with your hand straight to your your, all your fingers bent backward.
Like this, kinda.
That would uh, not be the recommened method of operation of the Glove Gun.
I cast BANG
Tap for spoiler
I cast « stop resisting »
I got a Potion of Resist Arrest!
Tape over the slide will impede the action cycling. Also needs a stendo and a switch, to up the DPS of course.
I mean yes, but also, most (all?) glocks eject to the right, so… thats another problem here, the staff itself is gonna block case ejection, even if the action could cycle, in the depicted configuration.
True enough! A stick with a Y in it just under the trigger guard would be the ticket. Also just laughing at the idea that you smack the end of the staff on the ground to shoot.
LOL, a new take on the phrase ‘boom stick’.
Yeah this here’s my America enchanted staff… she’s a slam-fire.
These are magic!
Wizards. Good ol’ Ralph Bakshi.
Just watched it last weekend. Amazing style but a little boring and confusing
That’s Ralph Bakshi
What the hell I need to watch this
Oh yes, it’s a trip. I wish I could say it’s good, but well, it’s interesting?
That gets sampled in the song All Paladins Are Bastards
Alakablam
I cast “bust a cap”.
deleted by creator
That rape had better involve gunhplay, young man, or I’m calling ICE!
“I SHALL STAND MAH GROUND!”
bonk - BANG!
Avada Kedavra = AK 47
[Reference] I cast Iron!
There is a game called “trigger witch” that is based entirely on this concept
iirc, pistols are pretty resistant to firing when they are dropped/receive a shock of some sort. So if slamming the staff to the ground, it might not go off. You’d rather strap a shotgun to it
counterpoint: hipoint
Harry Dresden would like you to return his staff.
Ahem it is a Blasting Rod
One of the most inherently violent of the wizard’s tools, the blasting rod is used to quickly and efficiently focus one’s will… if carried into a delicate situation, is as subtle as a magnum handgun.
There’s an animated movie from the 70s I think called “Wizard”. This post reminded me of the end of the movie, 😆
