I hope folks read more than just the title. So im watching a show with a gun exchange and the person has to reload and you can see they are nervous to get the new magazine in so they can fire again and it made me think. Do any guns have two magazine where you can either manually switch to the other magazine or maybe automatically do it when the first one is empty. With the idea that if you need to fire while in the middle of changing out the empty magazine you could. I feel like this seem obvious enough that someone must have tried it. I mean considering the crazy gun things I have seen. Since im not aware of anything I figure if it has been done it had an issue or was just not useful enough to make worth it. So for the folks that are really into guns, especially wierd protoype ones. Has there every been anything like this?
Yes, the Kel-Tec KSG bullpup shotgun has two magazines and a manual control to choose between them. In addition to twice the capacity of a single tube magazine of the same length, it offers the user the option to switch between two types of ammunition - a more significant advantage for a shotgun than most firearms due to the variety of ammunition available.
Sounds ideal for home defense!
Unfortunately they’re pretty failure prone; they’ve got some small plastic parts that tend to break. Being pump guns, they’re also at risk of short-stroking, where you don’t fully complete a cycle, and jam your shotgun.
It’s a great idea, KelTec just needs to iron out the bugs.
A failure prone KelTec?! I for one am shocked, shocked!

Congratulations! You just described the entire premise of Kel-Tec firearms corp.
Real Kel-Tec fans only buy gen 3 or higher. XD They’ve usually got all the bugs worked out by then, while the remaining inherent flaws are part of their charm.
Also the https://stdgun.com/dp-12-2/ DP 12 from Standard Manufacturing. It alternates both shells from each magazine and is even more unreliable than a Kel-tec KSG
There’s also the Gilboa DBR AR15.
Where does the additional ammo get stored? I only see one tube. Interesting, however it works.

Very nice. Unfortunately completely illegal in NY. Thanks for the info, though.
