An Apache revolver is a handgun which incorporates multiple other weapons, made notorious by the French underworld figures of the early 1900s known as Les Apaches.
The gun operates on the principle of a pepperbox revolver using a pinfire action and incorporates a fold-over knuckle duster forming the grip and also a rudimentary foldout, dual-edged knife. Due to the lack of a barrel, the revolver's effective range is very limited, but since all of it's component parts can be folded inward towards the cylinder, it was easily concealable inside a pocket. It was common to leave a bullet out of the chamber under the firing pin to prevent shooting yourself while having it concealed in a pocket or bag, as the weapon has no trigger guard or safety. This weapon is not able to be aimed precisely because of it's lack of front and rear sights. It also has very limited firepower due to the pistol's caliber.7mm, is a round with very limited capabilities even when discharged from a firearm with a barrel. Despite it's limited potential, the revolver proved deadly at extremely close range.
A 9mm revolver of similar design (but no official designation) was allegedly used by British commandos during World War II, though exact statistics about production numbers and technical details have as yet remained undisclosed to the public.
