I guarantee you’ve never heard of it because it only appears in a series of novels by Steve Perry, the Matador books.
The gag is, it glues to the back of your hand. The barrel runs along your index finger, and you fire it by pointing your finger and touching the barrel tip with your fingernail.
It fires microdarts which can have a variety of effects, the #1 use being a drug called “Spasm” which makes every muscle in the body contract involuntarily, leaving the victim tied in a knot for 6 months.
The original trilogy of books:
The Man Who Never Missed
Matadora
The Machiavelli Interface
Spetsdöd.

I am a Swede, and while I have indeed never heard about the Spetsdöd gun, I can tell you it would translate into something like:
“Point of death” or “Death point”
The mechanics sounds similar to the SCP skeleton bow…
I’m a big fan of the Matador series. I was surprised to find that another had been released. “Churl” apparently did not get much fanfare.
Print on demand through Amazon, he doesn’t have a publisher for it. It’s about Dirisha and Geneva’s kid. Oh, yeah, they have a kid now. ;)
