    Exactly. The Pancor Jackhammer was a work of art. What other gun can claim to allow the user to readily convert its magazine into a landmine? It’s literally 2 weapons in 1.

        Yeah. Tbh I woulda loved to see the Pancor Jackhammer completed, it was such a strange gun. It’s too bad no one’s made a semi-auto civilian version. Considering how many movies and games it’s been featured in, I bet they could make a lot of money off it.

        More gun per gun than any other gun on the market.

        /uj on a serious note, does this malfunction twice as often?

          I’m a practical man, with practical problems, that have practical solutions.

          For example, some mean ole mother hubber want’s to put a hole through your spine?

          Use a gun.

          That don’t work?

          Use more gun.

          Aha, in seriousness, I have no idea how reliable this thing is or isn’t. But, if one action jams… you still have the other one. Thing has two different triggers, so, unless you get two simultaneous jams, you still have a functional weapon.

          Only non shit multi barrel rifle I’ve ever handled irl was an old break action 2 barrel, one for 22, one for 410 shells. Old ranch hand / rural keep the vermin away type thing. Must have been made in the 60s.

          Barring something like that… I cannot actually think of any real weapon that I’d say was a multi barrel rifle, do you have more examples?

          First thing that pops into my head is I think Arma 3, the CSAT have some kind of assault rifle thats got one magazine thats close to 5.56 or 5.45, its some intermediate rifle range that doesnt really exist… and then for some reason also has like 5 rounds of some kind of 12.7/50 cal.

          Second thing I can think of is back from BF 42 days, I think DC or DCR had an M4 that also had a masterkey underbarrel shotgun. Those are/were real, but it doesnt count as its a shotgun.

          Thirdly… Metal Storm? I don’t think they ever managed to make that into anything resembling a rifle though.
