Strange firearms thread

Okay, here's a Picture of the Day thread for strange firearms. Post pics of any unusual firearms you find. I'll start with this crazy old pistol that I think has some weird engineering. You can also add a note about its history or why it's interesting, let's see your weird finds

'Tis neither weird nor experimental, Sir. That thing was often called a "duckfoot" or other terms of equal sort. A crowd control item.

Yeah, I know it's a duckfoot pistol but still the clustered barrels and wide spread make the design feel oddly utilitarian to me

It brings to mind the odd contrivances that market hunters used on the Chesapeake in the 1800's.
