Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Triple Double' shotgun?

The 'Triple Double' is a custom-built firearm that combines three Standard Manufacturing DP-12 shotguns into a single unit with six barrels. It features synchronized pump action, allowing for simultaneous loading and sequential firing of six shots.

How is the six-barrel shotgun assembled?

The assembly involves bolting three DP-12 shotguns together using factory holes in the stocks and custom-drilled holes in the forends. This rigging synchronizes the pump action across all three firearms for coordinated operation.

What are the key features of the Standard Manufacturing DP-12?

The DP-12 is a bullpup, pump-action shotgun with two barrels and two magazines. It loads two shells and fires two shots per pump, with each shotgun holding 16 rounds (8 per tube plus 2 in chambers).

What are the challenges of operating the six-barrel shotgun?

The primary challenges are its extreme weight, significant recoil, and the mechanical complexity of operating three synchronized pump-action shotguns. Proper handling and awareness are crucial for safe operation.
