Abstract
A rifle construction with a swing-type barrel assembly is adapted for firing both conventional cartridges and non-conventional cartridges with a longitudinally extending barrel assembly having a first barrel and a second barrel mounted in opposed relation. A breech block interposed between the barrels is adapted for sliding cooperative movement with the first or second barrels in order to expel desired cartridges depending on the mode of operation. A housing is adapted to receive the barrel assembly in first and second firing positions.
