The DORYU 2-16 Pistol Camera

This Pistol shaped camera gives the word “photo shooting” a totally different meaning.
Originally made in 1952 for the Japanese police, the pistol-shaped image capture device was used to photograph criminals in the act, as well as to record the faces of protestors. It even came with an adapter for Nikkor lenses!
