I don't know why I bother but every 6 months I 'll drop in to this small gun show at the rodeo. Today they had more plastic Chinese-made toys than shooting supplies.
I did see this:

A Chiappa triple barrel shotgun. I thought I was throwing a brain clot and couldn't focus. They come in 28" and 18.5"
Still the same hotdog & bun problem though. Shells come in boxes of 25, not 24 or 27.
Re: Three barrels, no waiting.
2I wonder whether that would be classified as a semi automatic in California. Either way, I have a bad case of want.

3If they weren't so damn expensive, I'd already have one. Totally stupid, but WANT.

Wonder if you could make all three barrels fire at the same time...
Re: Three barrels, no waiting.
5No, one trigger. At $1600 for a Turkish shotgun... meh. Cool idea but ripoff expensive for the novelty.

Re: Three barrels, no waiting.
6If there were a barrel selector I'd be interested (though I'd have to wait for prices to fall quite a bit). Here we're limited to a three round capacity for hunting shotguns. It would be nice to be able to run one barrel open and the other two with chokes for progressively farther shots.
I feel it would combine the compact nature of a break-action with 33% more capacity.
On the other hand it probably weighs quite a bit more and so would be slower to point, which would be a detriment to bird or rabbit hunting.

8That looks like quite the hunk of steel to lug around. My arms ache at the mere thought of a day afield with it.

9If the barrels rotate like a Gatling gun I might be interested...

Re: Three barrels, no waiting.
10I would expect it to be overly heavy - as well as poorly balanced. Kind of an odd way to carry three rounds; why not just use a pump or an auto?
Re: Three barrels, no waiting.
11With a multi-barrel gun the OAL of the firearm can be shorter since you don't have a receiver to take up space. Thus, the gun can be more compact and generally a bit quicker to point.Merle wrote:I would expect it to be overly heavy - as well as poorly balanced.

True enough, it is shorter for the same barrel length. But I still find a single (lighter) barrel tracks quicker, although it may overshoot the target on a fast swing. All in what you are used to, I suppose.
Re: Three barrels, no waiting.
13I believe that is what they call an answer to a question nobody asked. However, if they could put that third barrel where it belongs (underneath) and chamber it in .308 or 45-70 I would be all over it. $1,600 drillings? Yes please.

How about a sempert and kriefhoff 2x12 gauge on top and a 8 x57 mauser on the bottom?

Re: Three barrels, no waiting.
18The looks to be only one shotgun, and two of the rifle.
Which is even cooler.

I also saw inserts which you can put into the shotgun barrel for rifle calibers for those guns. I suppose they are full length inserts!!
