Back in 1825, a Philadelphia gunsmith by the name of Henry
Deringer crafted and produced a popular single-action, pocket-sized handgun
called the Philadelphia Deringer. This
blackpowder, muzzle-loading pistol was the concealed weapon of choice for many professional
gamblers and also, for a certain deranged murderer, named John Wilkes Boothe, who used one
to assassinate President Lincoln.
Over the years, this tiny pistol was imitated by many gun
makers worldwide, always evolving and improving with continuing developments
and new technologies. The name Deringer stuck, but a frequent misspelled
version, using the double letter “R” eventually became the standard term for all
pocket pistols.
Hundreds of derringer designs have followed to this day, released
by manufacturers from Remington to Cobra Arms. Functional, powerful, beautiful
and exotic derringers have all found their way into history.
Now, the derringer moves into the future, with Ray Gun
Technology:
I designed and built these ray gun props to embody the derringer design as
pocket pistols, not as powerful as their larger counterparts, but retaining
enough potential to pack a surprisingly considerable punch for their size.
These tiny, mini ray pistols have become a huge favorite for me…

I designed and put together these NeoDerringer ray gun props out of various found
plastic parts, o-rings and poly-resin clay. Small
hex bolts are sealed inside for weight, and the surfaces are painted and then
finished with metallic buffing compounds.
