Double-Barrelled Gun And Two-Row Magazine

Abstract

The present invention relates to a gun ( 1 ) with a pair of barrels ( 6′, 6″ ) flanking each other, each delimiting a cartridge chamber ( 12′, 12″ ). The gun further comprises a pair of firing pin tips ( 8′,8″ ) for a cartridge ( 10′, 10″ ), movable towards the cartridge chambers ( 12′, 12″ ) by means of a firing device operated by a trigger ( 4′, 4″ ); such device acts on the firing pin tips to allow a substantially simultaneous advancement thereof. The invention also relates to a two row magazine for a double barrelled gun.

1 - 17 . (canceled) 
     
     
         18 . Gun comprising:
 a gripping portion and at least one trigger mounted in a movable manner to the gripping portion;   a first and a second barrel, connected to the gripping portion and flanking each other, wherein an end portion of each barrel delimits a cartridge chamber;   a first and a second firing pin tip for a cartridge, movable towards the cartridge chambers by means of a firing device operated by the trigger;   wherein the firing device acts on the firing pin tips to allow a substantially simultaneous advancement thereof.   
     
     
         19 . Gun according to  claim 18 , wherein the firing device comprises a hammer, hinged to the gripping portion, common to said firing pin tips. 
     
     
         20 . Gun according to  claim 19 , wherein the hammer identifies a first and a second impact surface with a pair of firing pin heads, mechanically connected to the firing pin tips, said surfaces being separated by an undercut area to at least partially house a slide associated to the gripping portion. 
     
     
         21 . Gun according to  claim 18 , wherein the firing device comprises at least one lever or connection gear operatively associated to the trigger, to transmit its operation to the firing pin tips. 
     
     
         22 . Gun according to  claim 18 , wherein the firing device comprises a single trigger to operate a pair of hammers, connection levers, connection gears and/or firing pin bodies, to promote the movement of the firing pin tips. 
     
     
         23 . Gun according to  claim 18 , wherein the barrels are of a different calibre to each other. 
     
     
         24 . Gun according to  claim 18 , comprising a slide mounted on the barrels so as to be translatable between a rest configuration and an extraction configuration, in which the slide enables the exit of a cartridge case from the cartridge chambers. 
     
     
         25 . Gun according to  claim 24 , wherein the slide is mounted on the barrels by means of guide bushes which at least partially house said barrels. 
     
     
         26 . Gun according to  claim 24 , wherein the slide identifies a pair of transit apertures, opposite each other, of a sufficient cross-section to expel the cartridge cases from the cartridge chambers. 
     
     
         27 . Gun according to  claim 26  wherein, when the slide is in the extraction configuration, the transit apertures communicate with each other forming a passage which extends through the thickness of the gun. 
     
     
         28 . Gun according to  claim 24 , comprising a first and a second recovery spring, acting on the gripping portion and on the slide to bring the latter back to the rest configuration when the pressure in the cartridge chambers is below a predefined value. 
     
     
         29 . Gun according to  claim 25 , wherein the guide bushes are reciprocally counter-rotatable so as to be attached to the slide with a bayonet coupling. 
     
     
         30 . Gun according to  claim 18 , comprising a two row magazine engaged in a grippable part of the gripping portion. 
     
     
         31 . Gun according to  claim 30 , wherein the magazine comprises:
 a pair of reciprocally separate and parallel rows, each delimiting a compartment to slidingly house a plurality of cartridges; and   a magazine bottom connected to the rows to join them to each other.   
     
     
         32 . Gun according to  claim 31 , wherein the connection of at least one of said rows to the bottom of the magazine is releasable, for example by means of a dovetail coupling. 
     
     
         33 . Two row magazine suitable for insertion in a two barrel gun comprising:
 a pair of reciprocally separate and parallel rows, each delimiting a compartment to slidingly house a plurality of cartridges;   a magazine bottom connected to the rows to join them to each other;   wherein the connection of at least one of said rows to the bottom of the magazine is releasable.   
     
     
         34 . Gun comprising:
 a gripping portion;   a first and a second barrel, connected to the gripping portion and flanking each other, wherein an end portion of each barrel defines a chamber for a cartridge;   a slide mounted on the barrels in a translatable manner between a rest configuration and an extraction configuration, wherein the slide allows the exit of a cartridge case from at least one of the cartridge chambers;   wherein the slide is mounted on the barrels by means of reciprocally counter-rotatable guide bushes so as to be fixed to the slide.
