What's the most outlandish looking firearm that actually existed?
Doesn't have to be mass produced, or feasible. Can be a one-off frankengun, or otherwise custom, but like the pictured weapon, should be one that had actually at least one example made.

>German. A.Korobov design.
Just imagine if instead of kalashnikov riping off other competing designs, Korobov had success with his tkb-517 and consequently his department got more funds.
Just imagine, the tkb-022 being issued to paratroopers, tkb-059 as the standard LMG and the mind of this madman spilling weird designs as long as kalashnikov lived.

The original design of the kalashnikov that competed with the rest of the submissions wasn't as good as its competitors, so Mikhail started incorporating elements of the other projects into his own.

idk, how do you put the bolt and all in there without using the original failed design?
Unless someone wants to fix a problem that a genious couldn't fix, I don't really see how.

failed? how so? I'm of the udnerstanding that the gun worked but was not chosen because conservative CCCP generals didn't agree with a bullpup...

Good luck, that's the Korobov TKB-022. Only a handful were ever built by the Tula Arsenal for testing in the early 1960's. It's a rifle that's roughly 21 inches long with a 16 inch barrel and a polymer shell similar to an AK 'bakelite' magazine. I think of I had the choice it would be a toss up between it and the TKB-059. That's a three barreled 7.62x39 that fed from a 90rd magazine and ejected behind its magazine like the Kel-Tec RDB.

As far as I remember it had extraction problems.

Volley gun, basically your only choice for rapid fire if you didn't want to hire 100 riflemen. Quickly surpassed by the Gatling gun.
