Didn't Mail Call deal with a muuuuch earlier revolver that had a single 15guage chamber under the regular revolver barrel. the hammer was wicked.

Are you talking about the classic LeMat?
(IIRC nine .42 chambers in a cylinder that revolved around a single .63 barrel under the .42 barrel...)

The LeMat was .44-cal nine-shot revolver, with a single .410 barrel underneath.

No, it wasn't.

HardShell is correct. It was a .42 caliber, nine-shot revolver with a .63 caliber smoothbore barrel.

Well, I was thinking about ARFcommer Tony Rumore's "Siamese" AR,

But his muzzle loader is certainly weird in its own right.

Would you need a special permit for that two barreled gun?

Does one trigger pull fire one bullet at a time still?

Is the top gun a different caliber?

God Save you, but your hand would take a beating with a bore axis that far above the web of your palm.

Steyr designed some weird, weird guns. They still do.

Say what you will about the M9, I love that pistol, I still thing the triangle in trapazoid sights are the best I've used on a handgun.

Great Big +1

Even though Steyr upgraded that model, the older models are increasing in value. Three years ago I bought my M40 for 279, and I just sold mine used for 360.

MetalStorm makes some strange weapons. The projectiles are all stacked in the barrel. You can fire one or more at a time. It is all controlled by electronics and there are no moving parts. They made pistols way back when, but it looks like they are focusing on large caliber / military application now.

Broomhandle in .256 Cal. IIRC - put two mags through it. Interesting piece, but I didn't, wasn't going to buy it.

.256-cal? WTF? I've only ever heard of them in 7.63/.30 Mauser, 9x19mm, .45ACP, and, rarely, 9mm Steyr.

Something like that. Was a bottleneck case. THAT I remember for sure.
