Tim Ralston has been the subject of a handful of Discovery Channel and History Channels spots, and was the inventor of the Chiappa X-Caliber as well as other firearms. His niche is survival or "bug out", and the ability to scavenge ammo is a top priority. The most common feedback from X-Caliber fans was "make it multi-shot!" In answer, Tim presents the Scavenger 6. It's a rifle that can fire 21 different calibers and swap between them in seconds . . .

You just have to carry 23 separate barrels.

I will gladly take 23 guns over 1 subpar gun any day of the week.

Eh. It shoots 21/23/24 different calibers (depends on how you split the different ones) if you swap out the barrel-cylinders, which themselves hold only 6 different rounds each.
So, for any given caliber, you have a single-shot rifle that likely isn’t very accurate. And, depending on the barrel, it can be difficult to tell which hole you need to reload into for your second shot.

If it does everything okay, it will do nothing well.

If you kill the enemy, why not take his gun when you take his ammunition?

This kind of nonsense reminds me of the P&R Medusa revolver that “fired 27 calibers.” Among other things, it fired 9mm Luger, 9mm x 19, and 9mm Parabellum. It also fired .380, 9mm x 17, and 9mm Kurz.
Uh - huh.
Did you know that your Walther PPK/S will also fire 9mm Corto and 9mm Short?
Amazing!!! One pistol that shoots five calibers!

That, and why do gun companies think a beard and a serious look is necessary to fire a 22 rifle?? Could be this guy started the trend....

If you kill the enemy, why not take his gun when you take his ammunition? That would be a transfer that takes place without a dealer. The president thinks that's a bad idea.

Would it be OK if there an ATF agent involved in the transfer? I suppose it'd be okay if he was to bequeath it to you with a dying declaration....

He whispered it in your ear just before that terrible accident when you were cleaning your flamethrower....
