Basicly the title. I love shotguns. And have been sketching out some fantasy (as in guns i could never afford to have smithed into being) designs as I always come back to this idea of a double barrel shotgun with a single big cylinder in the center loading both barrels at once.

And I doodled a tripple barrel with an even larger central gear set on a metal rod with a triangle barrel layout and a huge support structure. 18 round cylinder 3 barrels 6 rounds each. 4 inches between each barrel and the center of the gear and each other.

So I tried looking up if there was ever (even if just made for shoe) a semi auto tripple barrel shotgun. Now I see this would be near impossible without certain caveats. Like there are 3 separate magazines. Or its breach loaded. You get what I mean.

I cant find anything conclusive on google since it don't even answer what you ask it anymore.

I've heard conflicting reports. It seems thay in pistol form it is a destructive device. But if you still had a full length barrel what is difference between pump with 6 round capacity.

Have been saving up for safety crazy idea for years and am finding out it might not be allowed. Wanted to get a stupid double barrel 12 guage shotgun loaded by a single oversized cylinder with 12 round capacity. Would put a like 4 inch gap between the barrels but I don't think that would matter at that point.
