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.
Claims20
A firearm comprising:
- a first barrel having a first end and a second end;
- a second barrel having a first end and a second end;
- a first chamber located at said first end of said first barrel;
- a second chamber located at said first end of said second barrel;
- a first bolt having a forward face for abutting said first chamber of said first barrel;
- a second bolt having a forward face for abutting said second chamber of said second barrel;
- and
- a breech locking mechanism for locking said first and second bolts into abutment with said first and second chambers, respectively, wherein said breech locking mechanism includes locking components located between said forward faces of said first and second bolts and said second ends of said first and second barrels, and wherein an operator of said firearm can selectively fire ammunition from either of said first chamber or said second chamber when said breech locking mechanism locks said first and second bolts.
