2014 SHOT SHOW: Double barreled guns. Really!

[Uberfiend]

So lame. So pointless.

 

[Slaymoar]

Will be awesome movie prop, also some guys might like it too.. A bit more firepower and the addition of spread are two things I would like. Kind of like a two bullet shotgun, with way better range and accuracy.

How exactly does one zero a double barrel rifle

Sight in one barrel, then for the other barrel, try different ammo and hope one groups in the same spot?

 

[tootall]

If one trigger fires two rounds doesn't that make it a "machine gun"? How is interammo gonna get it here?

Exactly why both makers are making two-trigger versions for the civvy market.

I'm gonna cut 2 cars in half and weld the fronts back to back. Then I'm gonna mount a swivel seat in the middle. The folks who make these guns will buy one. For sure. Lol. Question-if this double gun is a single handgun, wouldn't our laws limit the total capacity to 10? That's the beginning of 5 round 1911 mags. Just saying. I think the time/money they spent on this could've been used to make a new, good designed firearm. This is some Red Green stuff here. Sorry to be a bummer but this whole concept seems pointless, gimmicky and impractical.

can it use different barrels? if it does i would get one, have one barrel chambered for beowulf, one for grendel, hmm might need a three barreled AR for i can get 223 in there too

 

[charlesquik]

that recoil...

 

[neoconfection]

You mean a Gatling Gun?

One day someone will invent a rifle with multiple barrels around a rotating axis and that will be awesome!!!!

 

[neoconfection]

You have to get used to the different POA for each barrel. It's why competitive shooters use over-unders instead of side-by-sides. They have a point of aim that's closer to each other.

I'd say the p.o.a. for these manufactures is different than reality... They might sell sell a few though... Not to me, but someone.

Good for movie villains. That's bout it.

I went to google this and I still don't get it. There is indeed a lot of chatter about the double trigger.

The ar15 one I can see working, but the pistol's slide is joined together. If you had two independent triggers sears etc and it only fired one per pull per side would that either A) not cycle or B) eject unfired ammo?

 

[ImStrokerAce]

A fun bit of machining and engineering, but any practical application escapes me at the moment...

 

[Jonny_Cannon]

Way better firearm for drunken target-shooting. I'll just aim for the target in the middle.

Warning shots just go t a whole lot more expensive. If we thought there was an ammo shortage before, imagine the logistics involved in keeping one of these fed.

The Colonel would ask 'What's it FOR?' and we would shrug, since we wouldn't know either.

Are these as stupid as they seem? Is it just me, being a party-pooper?

 

[Daver_II]

What if you had a stoppage? Are they independent bolts?

 

[BCshooterFMJ]

Good for movie villains. That's bout it.

 

[gdawg]

this is like a bad episode of dragons den. i'm dumbfounded when i see some ideas that people throw their money into. just cause you can theoretically do something, doesn't mean you should

 

[BubbaBoom]

Mmmm... twins!

 

[BubbaBoom]

One thing you have to admit is that standing on the wrong side of those barrels the shock and awe factor would be at least x2!
