The Hummingbird Pistol

In 1914, Austrian watchmaker Georg Grabner created the Kolibri -- the "Hummingbird" pistol. The smallest autoloading pistol ever made, it fires a .11 caliber bullet. He marketed it as a self-defense firearm for women to carry in their purses. More pictures and history at the link.

yeah... hopefully .11 mm will stop an angry squirrel? i think you need a .38 at the very minimum for personal protection. but if it's me, nothing less than a 9mm.
