I read the description of the functions- how to get it to shoot which round- and it seems that a blind watchmaker or a very practiced safe cracker might learn how to do it in a short few seasons. Yeah, it'd be a single shot at my house- I'd leave it where it is and never shoot the other barrels.

I'm no expert, but most drillings I've seen are two shot barrels over a rifle.
I have a WR cape gun SXS.
I think I Could get used to the triggers, but it must weigh a ton.
Very Pretty, out of my price range anyway

Pretty, but not a single shot by any definition.

Most, but there were plenty of twin rifled brls. over a smoothbore, which is the arrangement that appeals to me (if I could afford one).  However, three vertically stacked brls is a modern configuration, not a traditional drilling.

A solution looking for a problem.  I don't even need to read the script to know that it's German.

It is a nice piece of art, though.

There's a particular German name for it, which of course I've forgotten, and it isn't drilling.  I have several old, conventional drillings and I don't consider them or that firearm a single shot.  I do consider mine one heck of a lot of fun!!!!

I believe this is called a "Doppelflinte Drilling". Although not in the traditional side by side shotgun with the rifle barrel above or below it still fits the terminology.

BTW: This is not a gun for the knowing afterall if God wanted you to shoot such a configuration he would have put your eyes like that! Cheesy

If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

"Flinte" means shotgun, so that does not apply here.
No idea what the German speakers call it (though I'm sure they have a name for it - there is a name for EVERYTHING in German, no matter how long Smiley )

My best guess is Bockbüchsdrilling. Maybe Biggi will come along and educate us.
