So? It's in a movie, it looks cool, "we want one like that".
Especially the ones which fire a zillion shots without having to
reload. (After the shootout defending their claim from the bad guys,
so many shots had been fired, the first six months, all they mined was

There are actual guns that do that. One model of the M3 greasegun and a
model of the M16 which bends in the middle and has optics that can see
around corners without the shooter having to expose himself.

pay his taxes because he didn't understand TurboTax, overseen by an obese
Surgeon General and financed by a country that's nearly broke.

Not really a shotgun (which is a smoothbore long arm that fires shot)
but a "pepperbox" carbine in which each barrel is loaded with a single
bullet buy fired from a common primer.

Sorry, don't mean to be pedantic.

Speaking of "The Alamo," a number of prop guns from the production
came up for sale a few years ago, They were Remington rolling block
rifles (circa 1897) with prop flintlocks attached. The Mexican Army in
1836 was largely armed with surplus Brown Bess muskets (veterans of
Waterloo), purchased from the British, who had moved on to their first
general issue rifle muskets by then.

The M3 Greasegun model even had a curved barrel. It fired .45ACP rounds.
I had to guard gates with one that had a straight barrel but I have fired
the curved barrel model. It wasn't very accurate but then it was a sub

It was a complete failure. The barrel wouldn't last a whole day of use.

And the silly gun George Raft uses in CASINO ROYALE: "This gun shoots
backwards! I've just killed myself!"

Guns shooting around corners were pretty common in early comedies. I
remember Roscoe Arbuckle bending his gun barrel around a corner to shoot Al
St. John in MOONSHINE.

You mean seven parallel rifles that all fired at once? That sounds
statistically counter-productive... (and shoulder-pulverizing...)

It was used in WW II though. Now we have a personal gun system where the gun
sight is a video camera and the user can use it to look around corners, over
barriers without exposing himself and whatever he fires at that's in the

Pepperboxes were quite common as handguns up to the Civil War. (Ethan
Allen was a famous maker of pepperbox pistols). The handguns usually
rotated on a center arbor to bring a loaded barrel to the flint or
percussion hammer. Sometimes they were turned by hand, sometimes they
were double action--pulling the trigger rotated the barrel cluster,
cocked the hammer, and fired. These guns were made obsolete by the
perfection of the true revolver. The carbine Widmark uses is a volley
gun, where all the barrels fire at once.

Long-arm volley guns like Widmark's were most commonly used on ships.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nock_gun. I notice the Alamo gun
barrels are fairly small caliber--probably around .32 each--which
reduced recoil compared to the big bore flintlock versions.

My favorite volley run was the Requa battery, a horizontal arrangement
of rifle barrels mounted on a cannon carriage. It was used early in
the Civil War. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volley_gun

As a laughable, but regrettable instance I once witnessed a fellow shooter
let his .44 cap and ball revolver fire five cylinders at once.
He had not sealed the front of the loaded chambers, thus turning his repro
revolver into a "volley gun".
He was told to never return to our range.

Reference the Nock volley gun, Darragh O'Malley playing as Sergeant
Patrick Harper carries one in the "Sharpe" series of TV movies and
puts it to much better and more frequent use than portrayed in the
Alamo.
