  • Patent number: 6415701
    Abstract: A two-barrel gun for firing two types of ammunition includes a single breech locking mechanism for both barrels. The gun includes a selector lever for activating one of two bolts associated with the two barrels, and a single trigger for firing ammunition from a chamber associated with the activated bolt. The gun further includes two magazines for feeding ammunition to the chambers, and a pump-action forearm for ejecting spent ammunition and for loading a new round of ammunition into the chamber associated with the activated bolt. The single breech locking mechanism extends forwardly of the chambers, and the actual breech locking engagement occurs in front of the bolts. Therefore, the receiver section of the gun can be made more compact, and can more easily accommodate other essential components.
