Improvised Pistol Made w/ Staple Gun

This seized .22lr improvised hand was made by modifying a staple gun, like you would use for upholstery, with a bent piece of sheet metal. The common but unofficial explanation I found for this was it was made in a prison.

That looks straight out of Fallout.

I recall a movie where some kids were menacing another kid with a bullet braced in a vice while they were waving a hammer over a nail placed opposite the business end of the cartridge. Life, uh, finds a way?
- I remember that movie. Set in Bombed our WWII London I think? Don't remember the name
  
  Hope and Glory
