This review compares the Standard Manufacturing SSR and DP12 shotguns, highlighting their shared features like ambidextrous controls and high capacity. Key differences lie in barrel rifling (SSR's rifled barrels offer extended range over the DP12's smoothbore) and firing modes (SSR's simultaneous volley fire vs. DP12's individual barrel discharge). The SSR is positioned for longer ranges and simultaneous payload, while the DP12 excels at close-range stopping power.

This examination of a unique double-barrel folding knife pistol, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, highlights its custom nature and departure from historical designs. The piece is significantly larger than typical vintage knife-guns and features a fixed pistol grip, two 12mm smoothbore barrels, and a complex percussion firing system with corkscrew triggers that require a tool for resetting. Its unusual construction and lack of standard proof marks suggest it is a custom project rather than a mass-produced item.
