    Shotsgun at that point, I think it’s earned the plural.

    Might as well spray paint hydro dip that piece of shit. It looks like they made it in a car shop to begin with and there’s not really much in the way of moving parts to fuck up. I bet operating it takes longer than reloading a double barrel.

    How do you fire something like that without getting your shoulder torn off?

      I think it’s basically a “revolver shotgun” (shotgun revolver?), so you’d only fire one barrel at a time.

        Makes sense. However, why not just use a regular pump action then?

          Because then you wouldn’t have a six barreled shotgun.

          Probably because they couldn’t get one, not a lot of gun stores in the favelas.

            I see, also constructing one of those yourself seems easier. Much less precise engineering / mechanics required.

    If one doesn’t know how to count, shouldn’t be allowed a firearm.

      Is that center opening a barrel though? It looks like it’s partially blocked

        I don’t think the center is a barrel. The more I look at it the more I think you’re supposed to manually revolve the barrels. It seems like the top one might be designed to get hit by the external striker mechanism. But maybe there’s some system inside the gun we can’t see.

          The mechanism likely also locks the barrel in place somehow, so you revolve with one hand and cock it with another. Compare it to this revolving zip gun that doesn’t even bother with a trigger.

This is a community dedicated to discussion around historical arms, mechanically unique arms, and Ian McCollum’s Forgotten Weapons content. Posts requesting an identification of a particular gun (or other arm) are welcome.

Rules:

1) Treat Others in a Civil Manner. This is not the place to deride others for their race, sexuality, or etc. Personal insults of other members are not welcome here. Neither are calls for violence.

2) No Contemporary Politics Historical politics that influenced designs or adoption of designs are excluded from this rule. Acknowledgement of existing laws to explain designs is also permissable, so long as comments aren’t in made to advocate or oppose a policy. Let’s not make this a place where we battle over which color ties our politicians should have, or the issues of today.

3) No Advertising This rule doesn’t apply to posting historical advertisements or showing more contemporary ads as a means of displaying information on an appropriate topic. The aim of this rule is to combat spam/irrelevant advertising campaigns.

4) Keep Post on Topic This rule will be enforced with leeway. Just keep it related to arms or Forgotten Weapons or closely adjacent content. If you feel you have something that’s worth posting here that isn’t about either of those (and doesn’t violate other rules) feel free to reach out to a mod.

5) No NSFW Content Please refrain from posting uncensored extreme gore or sexualized content. If censored these posts may be fine.

Post Guide Lines

These are suggestions not rules.

-Provide a duration for videos. eg. [12:34]

-Provide a year to either indicate when a specific design was produced, patented, or released. If you have an older design being used in a recent conflict provide the year the picture was taken. Dates should be included to help contextualize, not necessarily give exact periods.

-Post a full URL, on mobile devices it can be hard to tell what you’re clicking on if you only see “(Link)”.

-Posts do not have to be just firearms. Blades, bows, etc. are also welcome.
