There are several stories about this unusual shotgun.
First, the popular photo of such as weapon appears on the Internet, shown below. In fact this is a homemade version of such a unique weapon.
Next I was only able to find one picture of the manufactured version, shown below. These were real, they were made by a company called FAMARS Rombo. The model was four-barreled break-action shotgun made at FAMARS factory in Italy.
The shotgun was produced in 28 gauge and .410 bore, and was primarily designed for small-game hunting. It is notable for having a complex action, which allows all four barrels to be fired consecutively and sequentially using just the one trigger.
FAMARS Rombo website does not have any pictures of this unique weapon and they have since stop manufacturing it. They are a custom maker of shotguns.
The last one of these 4-barreled shotguns sold at auction for an estimated $65,000 US Dollars.
Finally, the gun was used in a comic strip, a video game, and a movie. This led to the myth it was created by the entertainment industry. The fact is it was real, the publishers, video game makers, and movie makers used the concept.
If anyone has a picture of this weapon other than the two shown, please share it with us.
Thanks,
