I took that video and made this.
Here's the situation, how do you proceed?
We must make a new type of gun

wut?

How about a pepperbox revolver with self-contained cartridges? By self-contained cartridges I mean stuff that doesn't need a barrel to work, and so the revolver doesn't have barrels to begin with, just short chambers to hold the cartridges. A few ideas for what it could shoot:
The Russians have those cartridges in which a piston drives out the bullet, and so no gases escape from it. You can read more about them here:
forgottenweapons.com
You don't need that much energy to destroy a typical lock, and it looks like even a shotgun without a barrel would have more than enough energy for that. And there is even a 7.62mm NATO breeching bullet now. Therefore I think you could make one for this weapon too.
Gas, rubber, flashbang (?), whatever you want. These don't need too much energy if you want to use them close and personal, and so you could load them into self-contained cartridges.
I imagine a rather small five shot pepperbox revolver that is designed to use moonclips and has a detachable stock. You could use the sealed and nonlethal cartridges without the stock and put it on if you want to use it for breaching.

Also, you could base the cartridges on .410 shotgun shells with steel walls. You are free to vary their length as much as you want, and it could give access to a variety of commerical cartridges.

Why is there a huge blank space on the left wall? Can I come around from the other side and shoot through the wall? But anyway, we need a whole thread full of tactical scenarios like this, as well as invasion plans, defense plans, and other things of a more strategic bent.
At that point you should just get a pike because it'll have longer range.
Wyatt Howard
Did you stop reading after the first two sentences? It's supposed to fire cartridges that are used in situations where a pike would be way too long. Have you ever tried to to destroy the lock of a door with a pike while being indoors?
Juan Harris
just how high are you?
Camden Watson
We already have shotguns for breaching. There's no need for anything else. A new type of gun should either combine several functions that you couldn't get all in one weapon with currently existing guns, or it should perform a single function substantially better than currently existing guns.
Landon Nguyen
This combines a breaching, a nonlethal and a silenced gun into one weapon, therefore it fits the criteria. A shotgun seems to be needlessly big and complicated to use it just for breaching.
Eli Rodriguez
Blue section should be "trigger for the laser sight" The thing that allowed the gun to be carried cocked is a little tab (on the other side?).
