Here is a little Sat that NASA launched.
Something on this scale or slightly larger should be doable.

So what exactly are the capabilities, such as could we get one to zoom in on locations on earth or the moon etc.
I mean then we could take polls.
Next photo Siberia, Brazil or Somalia. Vote now. Based of course on current events and location.

A full 1U cubesat would limit you to an aperture of maybe 50mm. That's not going to get you very detailed photos.

I think arming a satellite that would fit in your hand would not be needed.

It is funny you mention 22LR. It reminds me of my suggestion to a development team I was part of. When considering emergency maneuvering thrust on a tinysat.

The barrel of a space gun would need to have gas tubes that directed the gas from the charge to the side of the satellite 180 degrees apposed from the bullet flight path to keep the satellite fixed relative to the energy transferred.

Please explain the frame of reference regarding the need for the Trojan Horse painted on the side. I am not understanding the reference.
