Not quite. Dean Martin, who portrayed Matt Helm in a movie used a backward-firing boobytrap weapon, but that was never a staple of any of the Matt Helm novels by author Don Hamilton. Helm's most favoured handgun was a .22 Colt Woodsman, though he otgen used 2-inch snubby revolvers, often liberated or otherwise borrowed from other operatives.
