Kiss of death (firearm)

The kiss of death or lipstick pistol was a pistol used by the KGB during the Cold War. It was a single shot 4.5 mm pistol hidden inside a lipstick holder.[1][2]

An example found in West Berlin at an American checkpoint is now held by the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., USA.[3] One is used throughout Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by EVA.
