Four barrelled sawn off

[TRG21]

This was handed in to the police in the UK.
Is it a commercial gun or a one off welded up special?

Jesus! I think my ass would open up that wide if it was pointing at me. A+ for intimidation factor.

 

[Camp Cook]

Now there is a bear defense gun par none....

 

[Tyockell18]

Holy crap, I'v never seen a real firearm like that before. It must be a machine shop jobby or something.

 

[Dave_F]

unbelievably intimidating. What gauge is it?

Yeah, but then we would be debating endlessly about the barrel ratio of buckshot to slugs.

I saw that one on google images but I could not link to it. here's another view:

From that angle it looks like an M-79. The tag on it is a hoot: 'Caution, Firearm!'

I wonder if all four barrels light up at once when you squeeze the trigger.....could you imagine?
Talk about sore wrists.....

 

[fat tony]

I would say if someone was smart enough to make it that nicely, they would have bothered to put a selective trigger in there but I really haven't got a clue. It's probably in a vault next to Britain's VX shells and thermonuclear weapons as we speak while they cautiously try and reverse engineer it

^Was about to make the same comment. Could you imagine the flame that thing would throw with all four barrels firing at the same time! That would be a good project for Dlask - I'd buy one, but probably wouldn't shoot it unless I was using those mini shells. Imagine 4 x magnum slug!

If you haven't noticed the bastages have disabled properties on the picture. I guess ECHELON guys in UK are spying on me as we speak.

Flechettes anyone?

 

[fat tony]

Arrrrrgggghhh! Not evil flechettes!

 

[CeeZer]

All 4 at the same time? How many more cops are required to hold the shooting one so he doesn't fly 20 feet back?

 

[fat tony]

I believe Winchester submitted a design to the US government, I think the prototype was 20 gauge and had 8 barrels arranged in a circle, it had some kind of selector that allowed each barrel to fire one after the other, nothing ever came of it, too heavy I think.

Makes me wonder if the creator was a William Gibson fan.

Check out the description of the 'chain gun' (fires steel chain) on page 283-284 of the paperback version of All Tomorrow's Parties

...a squat heavy object that looked like a cross between the square waxed-paper milk cartons of Rydell's childhood and an industrial power drill.It was a uniform, dusty olive-green in color... There was an awkward-looking pistol grip ... and a sort of grooved, broomstick handle affair six inches in front of that.

now just looking at the picture, I WANT ONE!

Anyway, anyhow I could make something like that? or at least is there a firearm that is similar to such that I saw?

I'm aware of 4 barreled shotguns before and never wanted it, but just seeing that I want one non-restricted NOW!

Maybe Dlask can jump on this and start making them? I can just imagine the possibly!

If you are interested in unusual shotguns, get hold of a copy of Swearengen's "The World's Fighting Shotguns".
