If you were able to get magazines from 16 down to 15 would this be acceptable?

 

Now in reading the site I don't know if this is 16+2? +1? I have no idea.  But say you can get the mag pinned to 15 (or 14 if it is +2 just to be safe) would this fly in PRNJ? 

 

 

IANAL, I'm guessing yes? Be careful about what you put on it though, it seems like the weight will count as an evil feature (1850g = 65.26oz > 50 oz AWB evil feature threshold).

One trigger pull and you fire multiple rounds. Most likely a no go. They would probably consider it a 2 round burst therefore it is a machine gun. As ridiculous as it sounds. Who knows

Why would you even want that? It's so ugly.

Since it's two barrels, IMO it's not a machine gun per NJ law. It looks legal to me

I have absolutely no desire for it.  I don't see ANY functionality in that.  How terrible would your trigger pull be with a gap that big between the two... I could squeeze my trigger twice accurately rather than once and miss both shots.  I saw it and thought it would make an interesting conversation here.

This went around the barn at least once already, about the middle of last year.  You are correct in your terms / definition.  This is considered illegal in NJ and probably a lot of other locales.

 

Looks like something Red Jacket would put on TV, lol!  But they're a Class 3 Dealer and Manufacturer, down in the Swamps of LA.!   NY and NJ=VERBOTEN!

legal... 

 

there are TWO triggers..you are just pulling them at almost the same time..

it is really stupid.. but from a legal standpoint its legal as best I can tell....  

 

 

it is ONE gun.. but if you look closely you can see TWO triggers.. 

I see two triggers connected by one in the middle. Both barrels go off at the same time.

 

Federal:

 

Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.

 

New Jersey:

 

Any firearm, mechanism or instrument not requiring that the trigger be pressed for each shot and having a reservoir, belt or other means of storing and carrying ammunition which can be loaded into the firearm, mechanism or instrument and fired therefrom.

where are they connected ?

It is offered either with two independent triggers and one sear group or with two triggers permanently joined and the choice of one or two sear groups.

Both have to go off at the same time because it has one slide.

 

ETA: I was going by what I saw. I did not read the above link.

The key factor in determining legality will probably be deciding on how many trigger pulls have been completed after one cycle of the weapon.  If it is considered one trigger pull, than this will be an NFA item:

 

 

• Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger

 

I hypothesize that one could skirt the law if the frame(s) was/were manufactured with two serial numbers.  (It would be considered two handguns, just welded together. Also, the hammers drop simultaneously.) Of course, we all know how the PRNJ feels about multiple handgun acquisitions per month...

I suspect that wouldn't work.  It's a single frame that happens to support two barrels, but there is no way to separate it into two guns.   Much like an O/U or S/S shotgun, except for that pesky trigger function problem.

 

So often when I see a firearm design that isn't legal in NJ, I'm annoyed that I can't have one here.   That's not the case in this instance!
