Airplane handgun

Very interesting! Designed by Colt for Eastern Airlines back in the 70s. Plaster of Paris bullets, disposable cylinders. I wonder if Jim Reinke, later NRA director, was involved, he was president or VP of Eastern at one point.

To my knowledge sintered frangible ammo was still a few years in the future (1974), so p-of-p in a sabot was a reasonable choice.
I can see why it failed. Who wants to yell, "Eat hot plaster of paris!" before shooting an airborne terrorist?
