Abstract: A new double barrel shotgun for increasing firing capacity and allowing simultaneous pump action of both forearm members or independent operation of one firing mechanism if one barrel becomes unusable due to jamming. The inventive device includes a receiver with a pair of elongate spaced apart barrels coupled at their rear ends to the front end of the receiver. A pair of spaced apart elongate magazine tubes are also coupled at their rear ends to the receiver front end. A pair of spaced apart forearm members for manually ejecting spent shells from the receiver and loading new shells into the receiver from the magazine tubes are slidably coupled to the magazine tubes. An elongate brace member is interposed between the barrels to hold the barrels together and help dissipate heat from the barrels.
