This could almost be in the motivational poster section. I want one and I didn't know I did until I saw the video :D

3 barrels, 18 1/2 inches ?
There are better alternatives,they're called a pump or a semi auto .
Even the 3 barrel design isn't new, the German Drilling is not only 150 years older, but by adding a rifle barrel instead of a 3rd shotgun barrel it is more versatile.
Use the words "new and improved" or "tactical" and you can get suckers to buy anything.

Finally a break action for waterfowling ;D

I can't wait for the Revolutionary Upgrade.... a QUAD Barrel version.
I think that would be the tops though. I mean, really, if you were going to have 5 barrels, you'd just go with a pump or semi that holds 5 shells.

Yep, it can fire faster than I can aim it. Cool! But oops, I don't have twenty seven more rounds to correct with, just an empty gun. ::) Yawn. I'll pass.
-
It would make for a compact home defense weapon, but I'd rather use a pistol.

I'll ask as an experienced bird hunter who happens to have a 43 year old shotgun with an IC barrel.....as in, never needed anything else!
Why the choke tubes for a defensive shotgun?
I give Chiappa credit for doing something out of the ordinary as most everyone else is just doing something akin to everyone else but, I don't see the need. Technological advancement in firearms isn't done by by adding x amount of something that already does. It's about real advancement, something someone hasn't done or hasn't thought of...
I'll pass! I have a shotgun that can shoot five rounds as fast as I can press the trigger..
-
I don't see the need either but I still want one.

Guess it's just us then. I love anything different and unusual. I want one just because...Oh yea and I want a double bbl 1911 too when they come out and money lets me afford it. I have my hunting guns and my defense guns. I just love all things GUNS.
-
Remember Chiappa is the company that brought us the Ryno, the pistol no one was clamoring for. I like innovation, but you know, sometimes there is a reason that no one else is making one. This months American Rifleman featured the seven barreled Nock boarding musket, that one didn't catch on either.

I've read that some guns pattern buckshot much better with some added choke. (don't mix in those slugs)
Don't know where it was and I'm too tired to look for it right now...I have a tee time in the am. ;D

It won't be long until the double-barrel 1911 comes out. http://www.arsenalfirearms.com/

And when it does, I will be on this board with a bag of popcorn watching head's explode and mocking, laughing and smiling. Cause you know, we've achieved "perfection" with just one barrel and 17 rounds. You might require two barrels and two 8 rd mags to acieve this. ;D
Here it is.
Or rather here it isn't as the damn link doesn't work. hit the wesite though. Its worth a giggle.

I don't know if I would trust another of their products after buying the pot metal 1911 in .22 that got much better reviews then it deserved.

When I started shaving, the best razor was a Gillette two-sided, blue blade safety razor. You replaced the blade every Monday morning and shaved for a week. Each blade cost about a nickel.
Then, someone came along with an "injector" that gave you one edge that was sharper than the blue blade. You replaced it every Monday and shaved for a week. But it cost a little more--maybe $0.20 each.
Then, someone came along with the Twin-Trac--two blades in one razor that gave a "closer" shave. They were great. You replaced the blade each Monday and it cost a little more. The cost? About a buck.
Then, some bright bulb decided that three blades were better than two, and a new "disposable" razor was introduced. It cost about twice as much as earlier versions, but it gave you another week of shaves. The cost was around $2 - $3 per unit.
I just picked up a new 4-blade disposable razor. They cost around $10.
And I saw an ad for a 5-blade razor for about $14.95.
I recently found my Grandpa's straight razor. With a hone (I have his hone) and a strop (I'll need one of those) it should last as long as I do.
Point is, some things are just unnecessary advancements.
Three barrels on a shotgun? Give me a double barrel coach gun, or a Mossberg pump, and I think I am as "state of the art" as I need to be.
FWIW,
