    From the bore size it looks like it would kick like a mule, but we have no idea of the muzzle velocity. Even black powder should get those chunks o' lead up to 600 fps.

    It might also weigh more than a GP-100, so that would make recoil imperceptible.

    The barrels fire in sequence, not simultaneously.
    Huh, I take back....they DO fire simultaneously......yikes!

    Looks like that handgun would be used to repel a hoard of boarders attacking a sailing ship.

    like Jimmy Buffets Pirate looks at 40… it was born 200 years too late.

    Stay safe.

    It's like the original 3 round burst assault weapon.


    And a manual safety.

    Another revolver with a safety? It's blasphemy, I tell you! An omen of the Apocalypse!

    I was thinking machinegun, too, I wonder if the owner is aware of this.

    Is there an exemption for museum curios or something? I also wondered this about things like Pepperbox guns, but I don't think they fire fixed ammunition. Can't remember, not that interested in antiques and their collection.

    It dont have to be a revolver to fire 4/8 shots at one pull of the trigger.

    The evolved duckfoot right there.

    It is both amazing and sad to say that posters here are right - that oddity of an antique revolver would be classified as a machinegun. I wonder how many were actually made, and when will Ian do a range test at Forgotten Weapons? :)

    Would it really be a machine gun?
    I'm thinking volley fire like the currently produced double barrel 22 mag revolvers.
    I forget their name.
    Both barrels fire with each trigger pull but not classified as a MG.

    Ian McCollum on forgotten weapons to the rescue this very day ! Not exactly the same gun , but a similar , 20 shot , 2 barrel French revolver. It appears that the cylinder rotates just a little bit with each trigger pull, or cocking of the hammer to index the next round .

    Boy, I'd like to know more about that.

    I was thinking maybe ATF hadn't got around to checking that one out, or they didn't submit a request to ATF for a determination of legality.

    Seems it's getting so if you change the thread pitch on one single stupid screw in a firearm, you'd better request a determination. (< That's an exaggeration for the sake of illustration, but makes a point. I think that's the way it is in California with respect to gun safety issues.)

    Oh, well. We the people can sure elect some real jugheads to rule us.

    He's talking about this gun: https://www.google.com/amp/s/stdgun.com/amp/s333-thunderstruck/

    It's a volley gun (2 shots per trigger pull from 2 separate barrels in this case) and it's perfectly legal. There's a double-barrel AR that operates on the same concept.

    I think people get confused by the "one trigger pull" idea. Volley guns have multiple barrels but only one trigger. They then produce one function PER BARREL when the trigger is activated. At least that's the most boiled-down way I can think to explain it.
