I... I'm not sure I know how I feel about that... lol...

Kinda like having an extra dingus. Sounds like a great idea, but in the heat of the moment, what would you aim at.

one of the pictures shows a guy carrying the rifle with a laser on each side.

I feel like that 1911 would be pretty uncomfortable to hold.

Why use that dirty old antiquated AK with 124gr rounds when you can use the twin AR with 62gr x 2!

"faster traversing between multiple targets".....Oh snap!! They used the word "traverse"...Geeze...

The National Firearms Act, 26

U.S.C. 5845(b), defines "machinegun"
to include any combination of parts
designed and intended for use in converting
a weapon to shoot automatically
more than one shot, without
manual reloading, by a single function
of the trigger.

This is why the double 1911 had two, seperate triggers...

So a double-barreled shotgun is NFA as well?

No...not unless you modify the trigger to fire both barrels at the same time.

The early doubles used two triggers, one for each barrel. These were located front to back inside the trigger guard, the index finger being used to pull either trigger, as having two fingers inside the trigger guard can cause a recoil induced double-discharge. Double trigger designs are typically set up for right-handed users.[1] In double trigger designs, it is often possible to pull both triggers at once, firing both barrels simultaneously, though this is generally not recommended as it doubles the recoil, battering both shooter and shotgun. Discharging both barrels at the same time has long been a hunting trick employed by hunters using 8 gauge "elephant" shotguns, firing the two two-ounce slugs for sheer stopping power at close range.
Later models use a single trigger that alternately fires both barrels, called a single selective trigger or SST. The SST does not allow firing both barrels at once, since the single trigger must be pulled twice in order to fire both barrels. The change from one barrel to the other may be done by a <broken link removed> type system, where a cam alternates between barrels, or by an <broken link removed> system where the recoil of firing the first barrel toggles the trigger to the next barrel. A double-barreled shotgun with an inertial trigger works best with full power shotshells; shooting low recoil shotshells often will not reliably toggle the inertial trigger, causing an apparent failure to fire occasionally when attempting to depress the trigger a second time to fire the second barrel. Generally there is a method of selecting the order in which the barrels of an SST shotgun fire; commonly this is done through manipulation of the <broken link removed>, pushing to one side to select top barrel first and the other side to select bottom barrel first. In the event that an inertial trigger does not toggle to the second barrel when firing low recoil shotshells, manually selecting the order to the second barrel will enable the second barrel to fire when the trigger is depressed again.

My grandfather had a old double barrel shotgun, like really old. I think it was a JC penny ...Every so often that piece of @!$% would just up and let both barrels go at once. My grandfather use to laugh and laugh at people who didn't know better and shot it, even the grandkids when it would happen. Then he got all upset when he figured out that we were only loading one shell at a time to avoid the mule kick and never brought it out any more.

What about SXS barrels and double triggers? That allows you to pull both at once if your so inclined.

 

[kildar]

SXS with double trigger is fine, because it still requires two pulls of a trigger to fire two rounds. (even if you do it at the same time)

guess you haven't seen enough movies where 2 fingers on the trigger with a single gun. this is the need for it

How 'bout a 308 or larger AR?
458 seems about double a 223

 

[Medic!]

Cool! I gota run out and get me one of those! I mean two of those....... Wait how's that work??????

Looks like a good excuse to become a reloader.
