👉 The Henderson Weapon, also known as the "Henderson Gun," is an early 20th-century weapon that combines elements of a pistol and a rifle. Invented by American engineer and inventor William Henderson in the 1920s, it features a unique design where the barrel of the rifle acts as the weapon's barrel, and the trigger mechanism is integrated into the action of the gun. This allows for rapid reloading and firing, as the magazine is essentially a part of the barrel. The weapon's compact size and innovative design made it popular among hunters and self-defense enthusiasts, though its effectiveness was limited by its slow magazine capacity compared to modern firearms.
