    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.
