What it is is a derringer that shoots .177 BBs or pellets using a 209 primer. They also make a rifle version.

I find it very interesting. What kind of velocity could you except? Anyone have one?

That's pretty neat and absolutely useless. I'd love to get one of them...
Noted that they are termed "Parlor pistols" on the site. They were en vogue in the blackpowder days using a crimped cap to fire a small ball while inside the house...Guess in times when the weather was less than good for outside target practice.
