10 Real-Life Gadgets That Will Make You In To A Proper Spy

The Sedgley OSS is a single-shot pistol designed by a man named Stanley M. Height for the Naval Intelligence Office. The pistol is mounted on the back of a glove and concealed under the sleeve until the target gets too close. To add insult to injury (caused by being shot), the pistol is fired by punching your target with it.

For those who have seen Inglorious Basterds (so, everyone, we would hope), this is probably all sounding very familiar. Readers should bear in mind that Inglorious Basterds is a work of fiction ... and the Sedgley OSS is entirely as badass as it makes it look.

Each Sedgley was issued only as one glove and as not a pair, so you'll have to invest in a good pair of matching cowhide gloves if you want to add this to your arsenal.
