The Defender Mark I is an eight-barreled [20 gauge] combination gun of sorts, with the eight barrels built around a double action revolver-like mechanism fired by a hammer. It has an alloy steel receiver and is finished in epoxy paint. The Defender Mark I also had two triggers; the rear trigger fired off the magnum shells, while the second trigger in front was used for “instinctive firing”.
“instinctive firing”
Uh…?
They probably just mean point shooting.
Yeah, that sounds like something you’d try to prevent, not facilitate with a special trigger.
At the time it was kind of the hot thing in the tactical world. Basically the idea was if you’re close enough to not need to aim you shouldn’t because that means you can shoot back sooner.
Was it for taking down a dinosaur?
Do you really need a second trigger for that?
Yeah I’m really not getting the purpose. The rear fired the magnum shells and the front was for instinctual firing??
The fork?
Yeah none of the writing I’ve found effectively conveys much information around it. It also doesn’t help Colt came out with another more popular gun by the same name.
I’m pretty sure the gun is the answer to a question no one asked.
Its for ‘instinctive’ firing.
Yeah, I don’t see why you need another trigger for that
