oooh mama
People have been making them for years, just by bolting Ithaca 37s together.
>>30154647
yeah but the design looked like a regular double sxs while homer pumps the forend
>>30154647
this however looks like a modern "tactical" look and not something that looks like a old west version with wood and metal

It's closer to the Super Shotgun from Quake 2 except it doesn't trip both sears with one trigger pull.
In fact, that it fires each barrel individually with two separate trigger pulls is what kind of makes the DP-12 not seem like a retarded idea.
If the Hughes Amendment ever gets repealed, I'd love to register one as an MG and have it trip both sears with the pull of the trigger, then put a carry handle on it, to make it like the real Quake 2 Super Shotgun.

modify it with a handle on top as well. that would look b0ss
and whats the Hughes Amendment? (im a ausfag)
I like mine. The trigger sear is actually near the trigger itself and just releases two rotating hammer plates, so it feels pretty good for a bullpup.

In 1934, automatic weapons (pretty much any firearm that can discharge multiple cartridge with one pull of the trigger), was required to be registered under the National Firearms Act.
This also required a 200usd tax, which was an assload of money back then (more than most machineguns were actually worth), but this was never adjusted for inflation, so as time went, it became cheaper to register a machinegun, so more were registered, by the early 80's, the MAC-10 had come around, the open-bolt pistols were cheap, and super easy to convert to full-auto, so you could buy a MAC-10 pistol or rifle for really cheap, file for a tax-stamp and pay the feds 200usd, and you'd have a fully automatic weapon for a value of maybe 500usd, likewise, the market value of a Colt AR-15 rifle that was converted to full-auto would have a market value of maybe 1000usd at the time, gunsmith would often do a package deal when they converted your Colt rifle, that they'd also set you up with a MAC-10 to convert into full-auto.
In 1986, a strong bill devised to protect gun owners from the law was drafted, the Firearms Owner's Protection Act, a very good act in general, but the Democrats tried to kill this bill by shoving a machinegun ban into it at the last minute, despite the vote being against Hughes amendment to the FOPA, it was passed anyway, something which was debatable legal.
No longer could a civilian register a new machinegun, value sky rocketed, the 1000usd Colt is today worth 20000usd or more because supply is fixed. Some argue that this was a worthwhile trade-off due to all the legal protection was afforded to American gun owners, personally, I'd rather have both.

Also to fill in
In 1982, the ATF deemed that any open-bolt semi-automatic was too easy to convert and was then regarded as readily convertible, thus they are machineguns, pre-existing open-bolt semis were exempted from being regarded as machineguns under the conditions that they stayed semi-auto, or they were registered as full-auto and then converted, and in the ATF's defense, open-bolt semi-autos are super easy to convert, anyone could convert a MAC-10 pistol into a functioning machinegun on their kitchen table, with a file and some sand-paper.
This didn't do a whole lot to stop people though, many were already in circulation, and companies would just build an open-bolt full-auto weapon as a registered machinegun on the spot, and then sell it to you and have it transferred. Until 1986 that is.
To this day, exempted open-bolt semis have a bit of an extra collectible value due to being rare.

False, they only ruled on open bolt tec-9's and open bolt mac10/11's.
