A quick look at my modified version of a design from a video tutorial by MyDifferentUserName. Instead of using the spring from an ink pen to make the trigger work, mine uses an orthodontic rubber band. I didn't have a pen spring handy and wanted to see if there was a different way to make the trigger work properly.

The Kolibri was an almost comically tiny firearm invented by Franz Pfannl, an Austrian watchmaker. Production of the pistols began in 1914 and was interrupted by the outbreak of World War I after about 1,000 had been made. It still holds the record as being the smallest centerfire pistol ever produced. Here's MyDifferentUserName's original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmNgEZE_HvU
