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.
Oh good. I thought the plunger was on the finger side. I was thinking I would blow my own ring finger off with this thing.
The plunger is closest to the viewer of the image, the gun barrel is further away.
So, you make a fist, and the plunger extends out from uh, on top of the ridge between your pointer and index finger's first knuckles, the gun barrel is over to the right.
Should be fine if you keep your hand as a fist.
I guess you could blow your finger off if you are wearing this, and then splay your fingers out against a wall, but with your hand straight to your your, all your fingers bent backward.
Like this, kinda.
That would uh, not be the recommened method of operation of the Glove Gun.
