The Gilboa Snake!
« on: July 31, 2012, 03:16:21 PM »
For the love of all that is holy, please tell me this is some sort of elaborate practical joke.

The Gilboaâ„¢ Snake was designed to deliver twice the firepower in any caliber. The features of the Gilboaâ„¢ Snake enable operators to accurately deliver two rounds into a target without the delay of cycling and the felt recoil which make “double taps” difficult to group. The Gilboaâ„¢ Snake will allow faster traversing between multiple targets by delivering two rounds with each trigger pull.

I would like to state for the record I had nothing to do with it.

Not if there are two independent triggers working two independent sears.

This is the rifle analog to that twin-1911 that was announced a few month ago. Same problem applies -- they claim it fires two rounds with a single pull of the trigger, so under U.S. law that makes it a machine gun. If it actually has two triggers and two sears -- then their description of how it operates is inaccurate.

Israeli made. I have no idea what their laws are, but I'm not operator enough for that thing.*

*Gotta admit though, if it were legal, and i had lots of money for wierd guns, I'd get one for a range toy. Just for S&G's.

But only if they stand VERY close together (or if the two barrels aren't regulated to the same point of aim).
