Gilboa Dbr Snake - The Israeli firm Silver Shadow has recently attracted attention with its AR Gilboa DBR Snake double-barreled rifle. It is primarily an AR, uses AR parts, and fires the 5.56 millimeter AR round. Except it has two separate barrels, two magazines, and two ejection ports - with two triggers, as if two AR rifles had hit each other.
Stated Blake Stilwell, referring to ATF regulations on machine guns. But it's easy enough to shoot both by firing two projectiles at the same time.

The place where this weapon should find buyers is the civilian market, especially in the USA. Military customers are unlikely to find this rifle very practical.

But let's back up for a moment. The US military had previously studied double-barreled semi-automatic rifles for potential combat use. The Pentagon's Project Salvo, which began in 1951, aimed to produce a next-generation infantry rifle suitable for modern warfare by incorporating lessons learned from World War II.
One of those lessons is the importance of what the military calls "fire superiority"—shooting at the enemy more accurately than they are shooting at you. If you have a fire advantage, the sheer volume of fire limits the enemy's room for maneuver, narrowing it and making it easier to attack them on their exposed flanks. Heavy fire can also cause casualties through shrapnel and ricochet.
After all, Project Salvo spawned the AR rifle series and its first military adaptation, the selective-fire M-16 with semi-auto, three-shot burst, and full-auto modes.
There were a number of concepts that were put to development testing as part of Project Salvo. There was a shotgun, designed - never adopted - to hit enemy soldiers with dozens of arrows. Project Salvo also included experiments with double-barreled rifles, including the 5.56-millimeter Winchester Salvo produced in 1957.

The Winchester Salvo, like the modern Snake, has two ejection ports, one on each side of the receiver. (That's a lot of flying rice.) There are two magazines and the empty weight of the rifle comes to 11.8 pounds. Weight is hard to compare to a modern AR rifle given the wide variety of variants and accessories, but the Salvo is several pounds heavier than an "average" AR.
A heavy NATO battle rifle from the Cold War, the G3 weighs nine kilograms - about the size of a Gilboa DBR Snake. This makes the Snake a bit heavy, but not unreasonably so.
One problem with the Winchester Salvo came with its 5.56-millimeter cartridge—an unusual and experimental double cartridge that holds two rounds in succession for a total of four rounds fired each time the shooter pulls the trigger. This added recoil - a lot.
The Snake does not use dual ammo, but faces the same fundamental questions of efficiency, weight and loss. Ammunition adds weight, but two shells moving side by side will still travel to the same target. With shells exploding around them, the enemy probably wouldn't know the difference from a standard, single-barreled AR.

The effect. Better to have a light single barrel rifle. And if soldiers need extra firepower, they can always flip the selector switch to a three-shot burst. Key point: This gun can fire more to provide better fire suppression. However, this very strange weapon is definitely not for everyone.
