[Request] Double Barreled Rifle?

Post by Crudux Cruo »

I'm having trouble visualizing a double barreled rifle down the center, and im wondering if anyone knows of any? the reason im asking is because im trying to hand draw one but i have no points of reference to base it on.

any help would be appreciated.

Doing an image search they seem to be a very similar design to double barrelled shotguns. They either have one barrel over the other or two side-by-side. You can't have a scope because one of the barrels is offset. I'd probably just go for a thinner, longer barrelled shotgun appearance.

Please don't take offence but in my opinion it will be hard to find any because they serve no practical purpose. Extra barrels generally serve to increase the firing rate, or decrease the heating of each barrel. As assault rifles already have poor accuracy on full auto, if greater stopping power were needed, you'd buy a larger calibre gun, rather than fire bullets faster. If you needed sustained firing, you'd move up to a full machinegun instead. I'm no expert on the matter, it's just my opinion.

While most certainly you are correct, this is not a matter of practicality, its a matter of artistic design.

You could have alternate ammunition coming out of each barrel?
