My favorite is the overstuffed revolver

Three shots at once? Woow.

i believe it was one at a time in a weird sequence...could b wrong

I believe NC posted this before. It has multiple barrels and shoots in a sequence IIRC.

EDIT:Sorry Smokey, I think I paraphrased your post.

phew, makes me feel better someone else thought the same thing. i wasn't quite sure but was like 85% sure from what i remembered.

I posted a pic on this forum of the double barrelled 18 or 20 shot revolver one or two years ago, but I never remembered seeing a three barreled one, but about a month or so ago someone posted a pic of a three barreled one (SMokey, Alucard, someone? I forget now).

All I know is I want one!!

Yes, one at a time usually. The hammer would have two (or in this case maybe three) firing pins and each pull of the trigger advanced the cylinder about one twentieth (or however many rounds) of a revolution only lining up one round with a barrel at a time. I assume that in the spaces between rounds on the face of the cylinder there is a dimple for the other non-firing firing pins to land in.

There have been some 12 round doubled barreled revolvers in the past which were designed to shoot both barrels simaltaneuously though. These were different in not to provide 12 shots, but rather six sure fire shots because back then ammo was not nearly as relieable and if one failed to fire with a pull of a trigger, then at least the other would with the same pull, but if both went off, then there was double the effect..

That picture is awesome.
I've never seen these things before. Where do you even find something like that?
