ABSTRACT:
A firearm, particularly a compact weapon for firing caseless ammunition, comprises a support having a handle and a firing trigger adjacent the handle connected to a firing mechanism in the butt preferably for firing caseless ammunition. A plurality of barrels are arranged in parallel relationship on the support and a magazine is rotatably mounted on the support between the support and the butt which is pivoted at the end of the support. The magazine includes a plurality of radially spaced circumferentially extending rows of cartridge receiving bores which are aligned with the respective barrels and adapted to be indexed into association with each barrel. The magazine includes means for sealing the bores during the firing of the cartridge and for permitting the passage of the pressure gases to a control bore having a control piston therein which is movable by the combustion gases to index the magazine during each firing.
