Pen gun
A Pen gun is a disguised firearm that resembles an ink pen.[1][2] They generally are of small caliber (e.g., .22 LR, .25 ACP, .32 ACP, .38-caliber, etc.)[3][4] and are single shot.[3][5] Early examples of pen guns were pinfired, but modern designs are rim or centerfire.[1] Some pen guns are not designed to fire regular cartridges, but rather blank cartridges or tear gas cartridges.[1][6]
Pen guns that do not require a reconfiguration to fire (e.g., folding) are federally regulated as an Any Other Weapon (Title II) in the United States. They require registration under the National Firearms Act and a tax in the amount of five dollars is levied.[6][7]
