question about shotgun

[Thauglor]

I have a legality question about shotguns. If i was to take two bottom ejecting shotguns, and weld the receivers together to form a double barrel pump shotgun, would that be making a destructive device and be illegal? And if anyone asks why, i think it would be cool and its from Quake 2 if anyone played that game. I don't plan on doing this anytime soon because 1 i dont have the money, and 2 i don't know how to weld.

Oh, and let the bubba calling begin.

I don't know about the legalities, but how would you set up the trigger on that?

[Seattlefungus]

I don't think that would be illegal, there are a number of multi barrel weapons on the market, as long as one shot is fired with each pull of the trigger and the barrel and stock length were not below legal limit. If you have 2 triggers and pulled then at the same time it'd be legal.

quake 2 sucks... but the idea is interesting. but something tells me that the idea is just too cool to actually be legal

[cimmaronkid]

Why would you even want to ruin a couple of good pump guns this way? Just because it looks cool? OMG, how "bubba" can you get! But to answer the question, if done correctly it would be legal.

[weasel_master]

It would be no different than a normal double barrel shotgun. Nothing illegal about it. Just make sure when you weld them together you don't cover up the serial number of the recievers.

You say that because you were what, 7 when it came out :) Quake 2 online rocked in its day.

Go play some games on an old 386 machine, when wolfenstein 3d was the best they could do and see what you think about quake2 then. If you want to see what it used to be like play a game of zork and see what it was like before graphics, you had to use your imagination alot more. Guess I am just still from the old school days of computing. The first games I played were on mainframes.(damm I guess I am an old man now) :)

On the shotgun, what difference would this be than the duplex guns for sks's ak's and 10/22's as long as the two triggers operated seperately and when each gun is still one pull of the trigger to one shot down range. Didnt some one work on a double mount for 1919's with one crank but still two triggers thus still legal on this board.

That would be Big Steve. See his avatar.

Just make sure whoever welds it uses US made welding sticks. He he.
Sounds like it would be 922L compliant if done right, although im not a lawyer.
:plane:

:bubba:

been a county correctional officer for five years here in indiana so ive learened alot of laws and speaking in indiana as long as barrel stock and overall length is legal you would be fine just wondering how well it could be handled and manipulated

[SteelCore]

BUBBA!
:toothless:
Hey, If you really wanna bubba it, don't weld it, just duct tape and coat-hanger wire it together! Yee Haw!

If you want that 'tactial look, use black electrical tape instead--just remember to rough up the finish of the tape and shotteis with sandpaper for that no-glare finish... ;)

Wolfenstein rocked! Hel, I remembe when there was only Freakin' pong, and we thot that was soo cool! Man, whrn the Atari 2600 came out, we knew it was the future now, man!

Networked Doom or Decent...wow, that was a rad invention of the mid-90s..playing ppl over a network, then the intenet? :shock:

Now I play a bit o' networked Call of Duty 3 on my buddy's XBox360, and think how far we've come.

It was called the Irmu or Ermu or something like that. A left-hand and right-hand ejecting Remington(?) bonded together with a single trigger underneath.
I think it was in SOF about 1978-1982 sometime.
Just going by memory so it may have been two Winchesters. The weight was ungodly like 19lbs...........I'm going to do a web search to see if records exist. It was a one-of I'm sure.

If you can find anything about it, plz post. That is exactly what i was thinking, but just use two cheap chinese bottom ejecting shotguns, fuse together and make a single trigger to shoot both at once and a single stock with lots of recoil reduction in it.

:087: bah, most of the computer games i play are at least as old as quake 2, I just didn't care for it that much. wolfenstein 3d was pretty cool though i must say...

You might check with the folks at Cylinder & Slide.
During the early eighties the made a weapon called and Ermu (I may be wrong about the name) that was basically two Remington 1100 or 870 shotguns (one right and one left hand action) bolted together on a common butt stock. There was a single trigger with a pair of cams on it that actuated the original triggers. They sold some to Second Chance competitors and a few to cops. The only difference is that there would have been 2 serial numbers / receivers if you wish.

Note never fired one but hefted it and you needed to be a real gut to use it (weighed about what and M60 does.

I remember when shooting bowling pins was the "In" sport. There was a guy in the "Unlimited" division that took two Remington 1100's, one right handed and one left handed and made them into one gun. He had a trigger mechanism that would fire each gun in succession. Cool, yes. Heavy, I'll bet. Practical, I doubt it.
