Smith & Weston’s .410 Double Trouble Autoloader
New for 2011
Click on over, they did a neat job making an impossible gun look possible. If you know what you’re looking for its kinda funny to see some of the things that just wouldn’t work. Like the gun doesn’t appear to have an extractor, or that the top “hammer” doesn’t have anything to pivot on. or that it would take an act of God to remove that barrel bushing.
The article is laugh-out-loud funny too!
Oh and what’s most hilarious is also sad. I suspect if this gun existed as shown the “selectable trigger” which would allow either barrel to fire in sequence or simultaneously I suspect might be considered a “Machine Gun” by the ATF and its stupid laws. I know for a fact smooth-bore pistols are considered NFA items as an “AOW”.
Still go read the whole thing. Here’s a taste:
A Passive Aggressive Fired Cartridge Detection System® took a little getting use to as it doesn’t display any obvious signs of status or condition. The system will eject a fired cartridge, or a misfiring cartridge, however, it also can silently and arbitrarily undermine the gun’s cartridge extraction system and leave the cartridge in place… or pack up and take the kids and move in with its mother while the DT is at work… trying to make a living for its family. The important thing is that all of the gun’s systems have learned to get along harmoniously… for the sake of the chil…parts.
Har!
lol … i like …
Really, I just want to see a functional two-barrel, single magazine, semi-automatic pistol, in any caliber. That would be something indeed…
Would probably need some bizarre-shaped magazine and positive-feed claw-system like the Boberg pistol or the RFB rifle to work.
I imagine a gun like the Desert Eagle, or the Jackhammer. A Gun that is made just to see if it can be done, and ending with a firearm that’s more novelty than actually functional.
