I hope folks read more than just the title. So im watching a show with a gun exchange and the person has to reload and you can see they are nervous to get the new magazine in so they can fire again and it made me think. Do any guns have two magazine where you can either manually switch to the other magazine or maybe automatically do it when the first one is empty. With the idea that if you need to fire while in the middle of changing out the empty magazine you could. I feel like this seem obvious enough that someone must have tried it. I mean considering the crazy gun things I have seen. Since im not aware of anything I figure if it has been done it had an issue or was just not useful enough to make worth it. So for the folks that are really into guns, especially wierd protoype ones. Has there every been anything like this?

    I got turned on the mp401 which was what I was thinking. The whole point to me is to people to fire while reloading if you need to whereas the tape two together is just about faster reloading which allows it faster every other magazine swap. Im going to check out the burton so thanks for another thing.

        luckily the search still found it. Its actually pretty much exactly what I was thinking but with a pistol.

      If you’re going to be firing while reloading, you aren’t going to hit much. Practicing your reload can get it to a speed where the time of the loss of your ability to fire is almost indistinguishable from the time it takes you to get your gun accurately back on target after a shot.

        yeah im not looking to use practical things myself it was more an idle thought while watching a show. Curious though. Would you never fire a shot unless you where accurately back on traget. Like to dissuade someone from motion who was armed?

          Depends, if we’re in the jungles of vietnam? Sure, suppressive fire, still need to retain ammo yourself though.

          In a self defense situation in an American city? Bad idea, you’re responsible for every round that leaves your barrel, if you hit a bystander while wildly winging shots at an attacker you’re fucked and will be going to prison. Unless you’re a cop, it would seem.
