@@MacaqueStinx What about buying bullets? Is it "surprise mechanics"? as in maybe you get like, a wrapping to put on it, or maybe some ammo, or maybe a gold plating kit if you are lucky?
I mean you won't be able to fire it more than once since the first shot could have easily resulted tearing/beating the hell out of a muscle or 2, if not a tendon, and bruising the bones in the shoulder if you use the stock, or (without the stock) majorly fuck up your wrist on the trigger hand, and do god knows what else when the barrels slam upwards depending on what direction it goes with how you hold it. But if it's one or 2 people at mid to close range and you're only firing once, the shot from all 4 barrels would be an unavoidable wall of death. In a more significant combat situation, however, you'd fire one shot and it'd hurt like hell, then reload, fire again, and be rendered almost completely useless from crippling pain and long lasting injuries in at least one part of the body that's absolutely vital for firing your weapon, since this would be slamming into you with the same amount of force as a 500 Magnum times 3 except with a very thick, heavy mass of metal. So, for one and done, yes, but your skeleton will not be happy with you; in a situation that necessitates any consecutive firings whatsoever, hell no, you're going to give yourself permanent muscular and possibly nerve damage with any more than one shot, and just the one shot will likely do serious damage anyway. Plus the chance of damaging something on the gun to where it no longer functions properly is very high, most likely bending or cracking the area the primer end of the shells rest against, or even mangling the firing pin(s: plural since multiple independent barrels in your scenario) to the point your weapon is now just a club you can't properly swing with your wrist/shoulder in an extreme amount of unrelenting pain

This is true! Most folks don’t realize that firearms have been in constant research and development for over 800 years. Few things in modern life have been so refined, both for efficiency and safety, as the modern firearm.
We need this in a game that allows you to modify weapons and have one of those modifications be modifying the hammer to fire all 4 barrels at the same time. It would be funny as hell.

@@classifiedad1 there's been a change over recent years where it's considered better not to use gloves for handling old documents and books because the loss of finger dexterity leads to more damage than fingerprint oils and acids.
I saw the Model 2 and immediately fell in love with this thing. When i eventually become certified to be a gunsmith, I WILL figure out how to make this.
The US should've given some of those to the Afghan people when they left. The Taliban would have a lot of trouble trying to take the country if people could just sneak up behind a Taliban terrorist and blow that jerk away.
Hey Ian, when you say cast in magnesium, is that a magnesium alloy? Given how soft and reactive magnesium is, I can't imagine it's an easy metal to work with or particularly strong.
magnesium is a very lightweight material. it's also cost prohibitive to manufacture things with it, which is why you don't see more objects made out of magnesium. it's strange they would choose such an expensive material to make a gun that was designed specifically to be inexpensive.
The base of a 20 gauge shell (at least those in my possession) is 0.690". In keeping with their minimalist design and cost, did they just use a 0.68" diameter straight tube and give it a bit of a ream in the chamber area so it would accept a 20 gauge shell? I note that the Defender was 20 gauge as well.
Those things are...something. I love how the mk2 looks especially and I can only imagine how it would look to be on the receiving end of something so comical yet frightening. I would love to own one of those things.
it would have been nice to see it in action , as for the ammo problem , they may not have had them at the time , but by the 70's they had speed loaders for revolvers and they could have used the same concept for that shot gun
The grips on the wooden mockup remind me a lot of the grip of the whitney wolverine though I guess that shouldn't be to surprising considering they where both made by the same person
Seems like it'd be a great home defense option! A modern improved ideation of the old Ithaca "Auto & Burglar" (back when those were legal). With break-action, short barrels and huge grip trigger they'd be dead simple and foolproof. In high stress situations fine motor control goes out the window, and it's easy enough to fumble a standard trigger or short stroke a pump when it matters most. This has every advantage of an SxS with two more rounds and far more maneuverable in close quarters than a typical 18"+ bbl gun with standard stock. Also it'd be very affordable. A genuinely solid idea, Winchester just had the wrong market and sadly wrong laws.
Wow!! That is awesome!!! A 4 barrel Coach Gun. That would be an ideal home defense or survivalists gun. That Mark III with the side latch and ejectors would be fantastic to have. And the collapsible stock, well you could easily slip something over the end for some padding. You could even do one in .410 gauge for the children. Just imagine the fun they could have!
Imagine if someone had just said, "hey, let's get the barrel length up to avoid NFA and market this as the cheapest new-made shotgun on the market, ideal for people who don't want to pay for lots of fine wood-crafted furniture, precision-milled receivers, and so on. People who want gun-care to equal a spray-down of WD40 and swabbing the barrels out with Ballistol. Do you think we could make that happen?"
There's always the cheap single-shot break-action shotgun. That weapon is simpler, cheaper, doesn't require the lengthy and costly process of barrel regulation, and lighter for the same barrel length. You can't get much cheaper than that.
I would love to see this in the market today..... Such a convenient weapon to have in a bug out vehicle or something like that, super small and VERY effective.
I also fired the 12-gauge one. One of the awesomest times in my life was living in Washington DC. Being a country boy living in Washington state where we used to get the fire guns whatever the hell we wanted. Moving to Washington DC where you couldn't even own a gun legally. But my roommate worked at the J Edgar Hoover FBI building. If you've ever been in there they have this room that you can see that is just filled for weapons even famous weapons that were fired by Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger and so many others throughout history. His job were to maintenance those guns in that museum and all the other guns that were kept in that building. Along with maintenance sitting these weapons they were always required to be in firing order. So we, because he always brought me knowing I loved Firearms as much as him , got to go to this firing range at the FBI building. Or we went to outdoor shooting range and Arlington Virginia with some of the bigger guns. Like one time I got to figure out a problem with the a problem with the ammunition feeding system on a m1918 bar that was used by Bonnie and Clyde .. but I got to shoot and hold and even help work on some very awesome rare firearms
That's a very cool, unique story. What did you have to do to the Bonnie&Clyde BAR? The museum they have must be incredible, especially the historic pieces. Holding something involved in historic moments really connects you to the reality of things you've only read about.
11:32 So what you're saying is, with a bit of modification, this thing can fire all four at once? A certain doom marine might be very happy about that. The recoil will probably kill you though.
I worked at a foundry that was tooled for all the castings on the Wildey. They had it all tooled up and ready to go then poof, it got killed. Everything (most everything) was investment cast. I am not aware of any functional failures. So why did it go away? Anybody know?
There was a 1 barrel liberator shotgun that was used in the Pacific theater during WW II. I fired one in the early 70s it belonged to a friend who collected Pacific Theater Items.
William Prince speaking from what I've learned as the son of an occasional tunnel rat, probably not. 1. Too heavy. 2. Recoil hampering follow up shots. 2. I'd take the sound of a .45 in that close of quarters over a 12 gauge
I guess this is where they got the idea for the Shortstop gun in Team Fortress 2. I love the design of these guns. They're silly-looking but in a cool way.
I am thinking that a 3D Printer & steel barrel insets & rotary hammer would make an awesome shotgun for home defense in 12 gauge, w bayonet mount, included. Picatinny rail for the laser sight. What more could you want?
If I understand the WW II liberator pistol idea right, you're supposed to shoot a nazi with it and steal his much better gun. You're not supposed to fight an entire uprising with that thing alone.
Thats "Dragons breath" shotgun shells. And i imagine the guy who invented them was like "i really wanna shoot that guy with a shotgun, but I also wanna set him on fire. Hey, ive got an idea!"
The problem was the whole concept of a cheap insurgent weapon that didn't require training to use having any effect. It's an artifact from a by gone age when people had romantic notions of winning COIN with small investments of unmarked guns and a handful of Lawrence of Arabia characters leading bands of exotic natives.

@@classifiedad1 there's been a change over recent years where it's considered better not to use gloves for handling old documents and books because the loss of finger dexterity leads to more damage than fingerprint oils and acids.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 Interesting to note. Will keep that in mind.
Oh hey it’s the Hek. I was wondering where they got the idea from, always good to see where game devs find weapon designs.
I love the styling of Hillburg when most shotguns have one or two barrels he builds four and when that doesn't sell he tries eight.
The Mk. 2 is my favorite. Really beautiful.
Yea i would love to see the mk2 in a video game or something
I saw the Model 2 and immediately fell in love with this thing. When i eventually become certified to be a gunsmith, I WILL figure out how to make this.
Definitely!! I would love to see a come back of those!! Why this project didn't clicked is beyond me. That's a crime!
This seems like a great home defense weapon with open iron-sights, short size and it could be super cheap in 12 and or 20 gauge.
The US should've given some of those to the Afghan people when they left. The Taliban would have a lot of trouble trying to take the country if people could just sneak up behind a Taliban terrorist and blow that jerk away.
Seeing the white gloves comes out gives me mixed feelings, because you know it’s super rare and cool, but you know it’s probably not getting fired.
Какие классные ружья!!!Хочу!Хочу!Спасибо что делаете обзор на такие эксклюзивное оружие!!!
Hey Ian, when you say cast in magnesium, is that a magnesium alloy? Given how soft and reactive magnesium is, I can't imagine it's an easy metal to work with or particularly strong.
Yes, an alloy.
Cheers.
Why magnesium?
magnesium is a very lightweight material. it's also cost prohibitive to manufacture things with it, which is why you don't see more objects made out of magnesium.
it's strange they would choose such an expensive material to make a gun that was designed specifically to be inexpensive.
i like your profile picture
The base of a 20 gauge shell (at least those in my possession) is 0.690". In keeping with their minimalist design and cost, did they just use a 0.68" diameter straight tube and give it a bit of a ream in the chamber area so it would accept a 20 gauge shell? I note that the Defender was 20 gauge as well.
Those things are...something. I love how the mk2 looks especially and I can only imagine how it would look to be on the receiving end of something so comical yet frightening. I would love to own one of those things.
I remember seeing these and the other quad barrel shotguns in the Cody museum as a kid, wild to see them here

Howdah shotguns
The Death Korps of Krieg wants 20 million of these shotguns.
AldanFerrox only 20 million
Prometheus Yeah, for the annual tithe of regiments. Next year they are going to order the same amount.
Chowdah shotguns
They would indeed prove useful for sappers. I am getting tired of executing men for sawing off Lasguns.
it would have been nice to see it in action , as for the ammo problem , they may not have had them at the time , but by the 70's they had speed loaders for revolvers and they could have used the same concept for that shot gun
Damn, i'd love to get a reproduction of one of these, especially MKI-II, they just look so cool.

"Problems with this gun"
Hmmm...
The grips on the wooden mockup remind me a lot of the grip of the whitney wolverine though I guess that shouldn't be to surprising considering they where both made by the same person
Looks like a gun from tf2
SirTickleTots Probably a Soldiers secondary, maybe a Scouts primary.
SirTickleTots Nah, Hellfire Shotguns IRL
SirTickleTots
the short stop for the scout
Sal that’s what I was thinking
If they released a Vaykor version, I'd buy it. Better stats for sure.
Seems like it'd be a great home defense option! A modern improved ideation of the old Ithaca "Auto & Burglar" (back when those were legal). With break-action, short barrels and huge grip trigger they'd be dead simple and foolproof. In high stress situations fine motor control goes out the window, and it's easy enough to fumble a standard trigger or short stroke a pump when it matters most. This has every advantage of an SxS with two more rounds and far more maneuverable in close quarters than a typical 18"+ bbl gun with standard stock. Also it'd be very affordable.
A genuinely solid idea, Winchester just had the wrong market and sadly wrong laws.
Wow!! That is awesome!!!
A 4 barrel Coach Gun. That would be an ideal home defense or survivalists gun.
That Mark III with the side latch and ejectors would be fantastic to have. And the collapsible stock, well you could easily slip something over the end for some padding.
You could even do one in .410 gauge for the children. Just imagine the fun they could have!
Wow I think that's the coolest thing I've ever seen
Looks like the Hek shotgun in warframe
It's exactly a Hek holy shit just no stock
A Mini-Hek to be more accurate.
YES, I was looking for people like you in the comments
Imagine if someone had just said, "hey, let's get the barrel length up to avoid NFA and market this as the cheapest new-made shotgun on the market, ideal for people who don't want to pay for lots of fine wood-crafted furniture, precision-milled receivers, and so on. People who want gun-care to equal a spray-down of WD40 and swabbing the barrels out with Ballistol. Do you think we could make that happen?"
There's always the cheap single-shot break-action shotgun. That weapon is simpler, cheaper, doesn't require the lengthy and costly process of barrel regulation, and lighter for the same barrel length. You can't get much cheaper than that.
Something, something something Webley.
Winchester: Hold everyone's beer.
I would love to see this in the market today..... Such a convenient weapon to have in a bug out vehicle or something like that, super small and VERY effective.
Lengthen the barrel to 18", sell it to the public.
Include a metal saw in the package!
or 26" overall length :-)
26" OAL Colt model legal in Canada, so I'd want one.
that gun is so damn cool. i wish it was in production.
Me too. This would have be a great 4 barrel pistol
They were just kind of just "shotgunning it" so to speak. 14:34
lol
"The least comfortable stock ever envisaged by humankind"? Come on Ian, you've fire a Street Sweeper! Lol.
I also fired the 12-gauge one. One of the awesomest times in my life was living in Washington DC. Being a country boy living in Washington state where we used to get the fire guns whatever the hell we wanted. Moving to Washington DC where you couldn't even own a gun legally. But my roommate worked at the J Edgar Hoover FBI building. If you've ever been in there they have this room that you can see that is just filled for weapons even famous weapons that were fired by Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger and so many others throughout history. His job were to maintenance those guns in that museum and all the other guns that were kept in that building. Along with maintenance sitting these weapons they were always required to be in firing order. So we, because he always brought me knowing I loved Firearms as much as him , got to go to this firing range at the FBI building. Or we went to outdoor shooting range and Arlington Virginia with some of the bigger guns. Like one time I got to figure out a problem with the a problem with the ammunition feeding system on a m1918 bar that was used by Bonnie and Clyde .. but I got to shoot and hold and even help work on some very awesome rare firearms
That's a very cool, unique story. What did you have to do to the Bonnie&Clyde BAR? The museum they have must be incredible, especially the historic pieces. Holding something involved in historic moments really connects you to the reality of things you've only read about.
I smell bullshit
@@olliefoxx7165 holy crap that's right those guns are priceless
It’s very sad that the FBI museum is closed to the public
11:32 So what you're saying is, with a bit of modification, this thing can fire all four at once? A certain doom marine might be very happy about that.
The recoil will probably kill you though.
Danged interesting.
Would make a unique umbrella rack if mounted facing skyward in someone's man-cave/castle.
Needs a proper BAYONETTE!!!!
A Mosin Nagant-style "spike" bayonet that would be attached right in the middle between the barrels would be cool
I worked at a foundry that was tooled for all the castings on the Wildey. They had it all tooled up and ready to go then poof, it got killed. Everything (most everything) was investment cast. I am not aware of any functional failures. So why did it go away? Anybody know?
There was a 1 barrel liberator shotgun that was used in the Pacific theater during WW II. I fired one in the early 70s it belonged to a friend who collected Pacific Theater Items.
So a sawed off break action single barreled shotgun? Or was it able to be more than a one shot and done gun?
A video about the Colt Defender would be cool.
I do appreciate the perfect presentation.
I wonder if tunnel rats in Viet Nam would have found these useful
William Prince speaking from what I've learned as the son of an occasional tunnel rat, probably not. 1. Too heavy. 2. Recoil hampering follow up shots. 2. I'd take the sound of a .45 in that close of quarters over a 12 gauge
Thank you.....very valid points
Bobistdeinemuda which is why so many great designs never take off.
Nellson Stout For many even the .45 was too loud and they opted to use other handguns available.
TheMushroombadger funny considering that I shoot 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39 with no ear protection. And I'm just 18
I guess this is where they got the idea for the Shortstop gun in Team Fortress 2.
I love the design of these guns. They're silly-looking but in a cool way.
I am thinking that a 3D Printer
& steel barrel insets & rotary
hammer would make an awesome shotgun for home
defense in 12 gauge, w bayonet mount, included.
Picatinny rail for the laser sight. What more could you
want?
no
hey ian, Barry from iv8888 had a winchester 14 gauge shell. Maybe they'd let take a look at it
Marcus Wagner barry passed away a couple years ago
Impossibear ik but Eric might still have it
Ian you have the best job in the world. Anything with firearms would be a job I would love. I even like cleaning guns.
I want a modern version of this.

"Here`s Libby!!"
(BLAM x4)
If I understand the WW II liberator pistol idea right, you're supposed to shoot a nazi with it and steal his much better gun. You're not supposed to fight an entire uprising with that thing alone.
As "silly" as this design seems, I seriously want one! 😀
Seeing this made me realize that the Hek from Warframe is probably based on this.
this is now my favourite gun ever, especially mark 3
Incendiary ammo was a nice touch. Could be a whole new dimension of pyromania.
Thats "Dragons breath" shotgun shells. And i imagine the guy who invented them was like "i really wanna shoot that guy with a shotgun, but I also wanna set him on fire. Hey, ive got an idea!"
Incendiary ammo? It’s made of magnesium it’s a whole incendiary gun look up what happens when you put magnesium in water
oh man ! I hope i can use this before Mark Sebru.
dat42960 Serbu probably already beat you to it
The Mark III Reminded me Duken Nukem 3D. Kind of.
The problem was the whole concept of a cheap insurgent weapon that didn't require training to use having any effect. It's an artifact from a by gone age when people had romantic notions of winning COIN with small investments of unmarked guns and a handful of Lawrence of Arabia characters leading bands of exotic natives.
Johny Ricco let's be honest you just wanted to be able to use by gone age in a sentence
+ Maxx Gibbs I can't even begin to describe to what extent your comment accurately describes my feelings towards Johny's comment.
"bygone" is one word.
Great catch right there. That one slipped by me.
The problem is that cheap insurgent weapons don't stand up to the ak47.
The Sharps 4 barrel derringer had the same rotating firing pin.

I had to check to see if this description of the shoulder stock was said before or after the video on firing the Cobray Terminator. Before.
