In praise of Webley air pistols

[Gamocfx]

I like the "Gasworks charm" very steampunk...only a matter of time before they appear in a novel or a film...?

I thought they already did - 'Pretty Shitty Bang, Bang!'

You have to look closely, one does appear in "Goldfinger", it's dressed up a little and is masquerading as a tranquiliser gun, the gun that they shoot Bond with just after he's talked his way out of bisection by laser. A grappling hook gun made for the original ALIEN film was also based on a Webley Junior, it was attached to one of the spacesuits worn by the child actors playing the crew as they explored the derelict alien ship.
