Quote History Quoted:
The R&D costs to build that would be fairly prohibitive, especially considering that you would only be making the one for yourself and if you tried to sell them, you would need to licence Metal Storms patents.
You would be much better off designing a single shot action, where the barrel unscrews for loading. And if you wanted the ability to reload then go break action. Some creativity could allow you to hide the hammer in the handle and a retracted trigger.
I would go with a rifle round because, fuck it, why not.
Even one shot should give you enough time to transition to a side arm
That being said the time it takes to pull a cane up to a firing position is enough time to drop the stick and grab your side arm
This is assuming you are using the cane with your gun hand.

Ok due to a gimpy leg, it looks like a cane is in my future.. So whats better than a CCG, a CCW cane! The main issue is all of them look like ass, like a gun.. And we know how easy the sheep are panicked. So, while watching Cowboy Bebop, the episode Pierrot Le Fou. The bad guy had a multi round cane.. Im like DAMN how can i make that happen!
Then I remembered Metal Storm.. Its a long barrel with a round/charge stacked on one another. Like a roman candle.. So If one was to pay the Form 1 for a AOW. Build a barrel with sequential ignition via electronic trigger. You might have a viable system for protection. Set it up to use the old Rem e-primers, so you can reload it as well as make it easy to swap barrels..
Now I need to find good images of the metal storm barrels..
So what do you think? Yes there are a few states that you cannot own them in. I already know that..

An NAA .22 magnum cylinder would fit easily in a normal diameter cane. Instead of being hammer fired a double action striker could be used and everything but the trigger and safety concealed in an outer tube that supports the gun and keeps body weight off its action. The safety could do double action in revealing the trigger when pressed and be concealed under a rubber grip. I'd put the safety/trigger release button in the end of the short T of a T handle grip. The pushing the safety could also activate a laser sight concealed under the barrel in the main tube.
So to fire you'd used your thumb to push on the end of the T, after pushing the trigger would pop out, and the laser sight would turn on. Then just hold the lower part of the T like a regular pistol grip.
Starting with an NAA revolver as a base to design from would also let you first make it as a black powder cap and ball so you could refine the design and get the kinks worked out as a non firearm with an NAA cap and ball cylinder before remaking it in .22mag and having to jump through NFA hoops.
ETA: With NAA cylinders you could repurpose the safety notches as cylinder stops so all the action is on the back of the cylinder keeping total diameter down.
