Are you referring to a M203 grenade launcher? If not, I'm interested in seeing this pic also!

Sounds to me like an M-16 type rifle with an M-203 and something like a mag-clinch. But i'm interested in seeing it!!

Quoted: What the @#$#$^%^*^*()&)^&*%&#$^%@(?!?!?!? How would that work??????? from the posted website: ...Siamese 223 - The latest and most insane creation by Tromix is this Siamese 223 for LAW Enforcement only. The synergistic exchange of gas tubes forces the expanding gasses from the lower rifle to the top rifle allowing it to cycle a cartridge into the top breach then fire when the bolt is closed. The gas from the top rifle is then sent back down to the lower rifle where the first empty round gets ejected and a new cartridge is loaded into the breach. It is a wicked wild ride when fired FULL AUTO. It's pretty cool looking.. however, mag changes would be a bitch, not to mention failure of one side would effect the other.. thus = useless. nice for a day at the range, but for a life threatening environment? no thanks [:)] |

The Tromix gun might be useful for something along the lines of SWAT teams surronding a house/residence/building, and all unloading into it. Then the only thing that matters is rate of fire, not reliablity nor accuracy.
Sounds like a SHTF scenario to me, though... |

No useable sights! It would need a laser for sure, if you actually wanted to HIT anything.

I won't take that weapon seriously until they include it on Grand Theft Auto Vice City.
You wouldn't need sights in that case. Just hold L1 down while targeting... Anthony |

You don't need sights. Put only tracers in the top magazine. Walk the rounds onto your target...

Sorry to keep hijacking this thread... But it passes the time as we wait on Troy...
Off the Tromix website: [b]The Difference Between The Liberal and Conservative "Debate" Over The War On Crime: [/b] Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities. In your hand is a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? Liberal Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion. Conservative Answer: BANG! Texan's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... RELOAD!!!!! Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?" Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..." BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Daughter: "Nice grouping Daddy!" ... Darn tootin'. |

Concerning the original reason for this thread.......were these two (possible) barrels side by side or over and under? Iv'e seen pics that could fool ya into thinking the surefire light was a side by bbl. If ya didnt know what you were looking at!

From what I can tell, he did say the magazines were side-by-side...
I'm thinking it's a MagCinch and an M203. That would make the regular barrel, a large barrel underneath the rifle barrel, and two magazines side-by-side. Needless to say, a fearful fighting package... |

I would say a mag coupling system for sure. M203 sounds like the likely bugger as you said! PIC Pleeeaase! |

So, which half has the serial number? [:D]
Next to that Tromix AR-15 muzzle loader, that is the craziest thing I've ever seen. How's it work though is the question I'd like to know. Since the trigger can't be connected to the top upper right? My "theory" is the top upper has a delayed hammer fall so it will not lock the hammer back. That way, the bolt cycles, locks up, and the hammer is right behind it and fires. So even in SEMI, you'd get 2 rounds. The only way it stops is on the lower halfs "salvo." This could be why it is limited to LEO only due to more than one round per trigger pull is being fired. Does it have a duel bar charging handle to chamber rounds? Why the Bull barreled upper and standard bottom? Just whatever was laying around, or a reason? Remember all that time you guys waited for those tromix lowers? There's two of them being molested. [:D] Or, I could be completely wrong about how it works. Looks interesting to shoot though! You can almost bet he's put two beta's on that bad boy. -Steve |

Troy, I resent Email. Rifle I am trying to get posted has two barrels (side by side), two mags (side by side) one buttstock. Barrels are evenly spaced and in perfect alignment and so are mags. Looks like one rifle to me. Picture isn't the best. Hopefully you will be able to post picture and someone will know what it is.

Ok. Tromix, if you are listening, listen to this.
Just because you CAN do something, that does not mean you SHOULD. That thing is stupid. Holds 6 rounds of ammunition and there is no way to aim the damn thing. Only a moron would buy one. Only a REAL moron would make it. |

Naturally, now that I have the pic, the AR15.com photo server is down... [pissed]
But, I can answer your question on what it is: It's an M4 with a Redi-Mag (mag loaded in both mag wells), Knights RAS forend, PEQ-2 laser, Knights forward grip, and a Harris bipod. You're seeing the bipod legs in their stowed position sticking forward. It isn't another barrel. And the second mag is the one in the Redi-Mag. As soon as the photo server is up, I'll try to post the pic. Markd, do you have this pic as a plain JPG, or just in the PDF? -Troy |

I wonder how difficult it is to open that thing up. Theoretically you could put optics on the side if you changed the handguards out. I still don't see what the purpose of that is though, it looks retarded...much cooler to just have an AR in each hand.

okay.. dumb question.
saw a movie that had a shotgun attachment under the barrel similar to the grenade/flare launcher. Does this exist or is it just in the movies. if it's real I WANT ONE... Now !!!. |

It's real, but it's also real dumb. Knights Armament makes it, and it's called the "MasterKey", as it's designed to open any lock... The gun and mount are sold as a unit for around $1,800, if you can get one, and because it is an AOW, you have to deal with the NFA paperwork. The result is a real heavy AR with a two-round pump shotgun that is marginally useful for breeching doors, provided you can get some powdered-lead breeching rounds.
I'd recommend a seperate shotgun, which is what the military has wisely chosen to do. -Troy |

Quoted: I came accross a picture of a very strange looking M16 that a special forces soldier is holding in Iraq. It appears to have two barrels and two mags (side by side)but only one butt stock, one pistol grip and one forearm grip. If someone that can post the picture will send me their Email address, I'll send it to them so they can post the picture. Thanks Looks like a Redi-mag and a Harris Bipod not two barrels. Mack |

The 6 rounds should have been 60 rounds. My zero key has been a bit fussy lately.
I honestly would not want to fire it. Some video game producer would probably be interested in it though... |
