    Patent number: 10401119
    Abstract: A small pistol device that shoots red paint pellets is intended to be used for personal protection. The pistol is disguised to appear as a rectangular cellular phone. The pistol is intended to be worn discreetly upon a user's belt using a clip. During a confrontation, a user would fire a paint pellet at the perpetrator causing the release of paint. It is intended that the perpetrator would think they have been shot, thereby providing an opportunity for the user to escape.
