Hate to ruin it, but that'll never leave a paw shaped hole (or set of holes as it were.) You'd have to use slugs of course, and the slugs aren't going to tear cleanly through just about anything a wall or chest could be made of.

And that's assuming they even fall in the actual right pattern, and that your shoulder and the gun can handle all 5 going off at once without exploding (though unless this thing has 5 triggers, it's a switch situation and you won't be able to anyway). Or if you do 5 separate shots, then if you're good enough you could do it with any gun.

It's a switch situation

Stop telling people about my last orgy.

It's absolutely clear that this weapon shoots pawjectiles!

sensible reasoning all, but all i want to know is what goes in the center muzzle.

I'm guessing it's a 12ga and 4 .410s, but it could be like an 8ga or 10ga and 4 12ga, kind of hard to tell from the pic. I'll see if I can find any info online..

Turns out it was "liberated" from a museum at the end of WWII and sold at auction sometime around 5y ago. While I was unable to nail down all the calibers it's a combination gun, meaning the smaller barrels are rifle barrels and the larger is a shotgun barrel. Never seen one with five barrels before but they're still made, usually with three barrels.

If the info I found is to be believed it was on a Russian auction site and the calibers listed are:

The top 2 are listed as 9.1x52 R, the left side as 9.3x82 R, right side as 11x74 R. The center barrel is listed as 16 Gauge.

But I couldn't find the Russian auction site. I did find apparently the tag on the site listed this guy as the maker in the 1890s/1900s.

It actually shoots all slugs that are tethered together with goth girl chains and it's designed to clear cut gatherings of fascists

They can't be chained together in different barrels because physics but within the individual shotshell you can chain buckshot together. https://www.phoenixrising.store/ball-and-chain-12-gauge-2-34--5-round-pack_p_25.html

The chain goes out the barrel and around back in

But the shells are loaded from the back, you'd have to attach the chains while it is loaded, while pointing 5 barrels loaded with live shells at least at your hand if not face. I'd recommend just doing it the non-suicide way.

Each shell has a long chain that isn't attached to each other during loading so you load them, point gun down, chains hang out the front long enough you can point the gun forward and link them all up below the barrels so you don't ever point anything at yourself

You got some looooong arms. Even if you SBS'd it (which is free now but you still need to engrave and send your prints to ATF), it's still not the safest thing you could do, though I do have to admit that would work lol.

Of course, the chains' weight will also have to be compensated for in the powder load unless they're not very heavy, if they're too heavy it's impossible without dangerously over pressuring the shells. But that's not too hard, it just limits your chains.

Some crazy person made flechette shells out of heavy duty cable. It stayed together fairly well on the entrance wound, not so much after that. Daooffledermaus(?) had a video on it recently.

Thanks Captain Buzzkill.

Party’s over folks. We can all go home now.
