I like how, as opposed to the schadenfreude thread, neither player assumed they had the point, when they returned the shot between the legs. No Early celebrations

Yes, all the time, for centuries that was the only way to make a gun you could shoot more than once was to glue several guns together. Giving you in that case, obviously, a gun that you can shoot twice, because it shoots seven barrels at once. OwlFancier has a new favorite as of 18:09 on Apr 1, 2022 |

The freaky gun thing feels like that long period in fairly early earth evolution where species with seventeen eyes and three legs were being trialled. Just throwing all the weird poo poo out there to see what works.

It's a genuinely fascinating period in firearms design because yeah they don't really know how to do it and there are still a lot of small producers, so you get people making a bunch of weird and wonderful designs working with not much to build off of, and not necessarily the best technology either, all in the pursuit of more, better shooty capability.By popular demand posted:Does it work better than a shotgun? No. Specifically I think that's based off the volley gun which was designed for ship to ship warfare, so it does work better than a shotgun in that it will spray big loving slugs across the deck of a ship from some distance away and hopefully you'll hit someone. It works because you don't need to reload it you just want to kill as many of the other guys as possible as quick as possible.

There were also wacky as gently caress designs in the middle third or so of the 19th century when people were trying to figure out repeaters. There were pistols with multi stage triggers that essentially operated a bolt action, rifles that took proprietary caseless ammo with solid propellant, and some guns that could malfunction in a way that would fire bullets out the wrong end of the gun.

It's badass that Mick Foley survived that but it is not badass that it happened or the treatment of professional wrestlers by Vince McMahon.

Why were so many of the old timey rifles hexagonal in shape? Was it just easier to bash together six strips of metal into a tube vs rolling it into a cylinder?
