Interesting. I have never seen or heard of this gun before. I'd love to see a modern version in .30 carbine and have it fire 3 rounds with each pull of the trigger.

That would be a game changer if it was chambered for .45lc/.410gauge  And....and....and..............you could load each 3 round segment with one 45 LC, one .410 buckshot, and one .410 bird-shot. That way no one could ever argue that you didn't use the right load for home defense. Imagine getting hit with all three at once. This is marketing genius. Everyone with a Taurus judge would be trading it in for one of these.

machinegun Would it be? Multiple bullets with one trigger pull. That. The BATFE would not like this gun. What if it had a smooth barrel? Would it be as SBS? It wouldn't matter, rifled or smooth bore, if it shoots more than one round per trigger pull, its a "Machine Gun" It WOULD however be neat if they had one that fired one barrel at a time! Novelty more than anything, but cool. |

machinegun Would it be? Multiple bullets with one trigger pull. Okay, so how about something where there are three disconnectors, and the hammer is being held by all three. The first two pulls could lower the outer two disconnectors, and the last pull would finally make the hammer drop on three firing pins. Then people could "lock and load" by loading the gun and pulling the trigger twice. What do you think the ATF would think about the fact that the trigger was pulled three times for three bullets, but the pulls weren't all happening around the same time? |

The trigger is whatever you press or activate that causes the gun to be fired. If you pull or activate the trigger only once and it fires more than one shot, it is a machine gun by legal definition. The only way around it is you would have to have three separate triggers that you would pull at the same time. This is why a double-trigger double-barrel shotgun is not a machine gun even though you can fire two shots at the same time. |

I kind of figured that would be how they would rule on something like that, being that it's neva ben dun befo. |

Ammo must have been very cheap at some time in Spanish history! Star made a 9mm with a full auto selector switch once; they say you could aerate a ceiling with it in a split second... That would be the MD model.......I have fired the 7.63 Mauser version of one (stocked)........at least 1200 rpms...... |

I imagine this would looking something like the Glock trigger assembly, except divided into 3 separate pieces. I bet we have the machining technology to achieve the necessary tolerances.
