That's gotta be heavy as fuck.

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.

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

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.

That's something you'd see in a zombie apocalypse game

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

FireTower@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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.

roguetrick@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

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.

That's what I'm thinking too.
