At the Military Museum in Istanbul. I'm at a loss to explain how this gun functions. My initial guess was that the front section turned so the activated barrel was in line with the stock, but it really doesn't look like there's a mechanism for that. UPDATE: Tim points out this page which seems to indicate this gun is in fact meant for taking out a large gang all at once.
