pepperbox
The pepper-box revolver or simply pepperbox (also "pepper-pot", from its resemblance to the household pepper shakers) is a multiple-barrel repeating firearm that has three or more barrels which revolve around a central axis. It mostly appears in the form of a multi-shot handheld firearm. Pepperboxes exist in all ammunition systems: matchlock, wheellock, flintlock, caplock, pinfire, rimfire and centerfire. While pepperboxes are usually handguns, a few rifle-sized guns were made; Samuel Colt owned a revolving 3-barrel matchlock musket from India, and an 8-barreled pepperbox shotgun was designed but never went into production.

Good pepperbox reproduction?
Has any outfit ever made a good quality, reasonably faithful, reproduction of the 19th century pepperbox? I haven't found one in my travels. A long time ago, I built one from a kit and it was pretty craptastic. I also encountered a .22 bore type from Spain that left a lot to be desired...- Discussion Thread
