Fusil à air comprimé, photographié le 28 avril 1926. Office national des recherches scientifiques et industrielles et des inventions. Le commandant Charles Delamare-Maze a conçu ce fusil sans recul pour la chasse au béluga, nom donné au dauphin de Risso, Grampus griseus, par les pécheurs de Douarnenez. Ces derniers avaient saisis le sous-secrétariat d'Etat des Ports, de la Marine marchande et des Pêches, pour abattre ce cétacé qui détruisait leurs filets.
