cbullitt swore it needed more than one barrel so I’m willing to go halfway – two large-bore barrels in an over/under arrangement. Yes, there’s one trigger. Pull the trigger and both go off. Half measures in Lemur’s mind are wasted measures.
I’ll add in the mime-endangering stuff later after the Sweeper is done.

Obama Hits at Tea Partiers
In the same vein that the guy who claims he’s doing you a big favor getting rid of your lead-based paints in your garage also dumps nuclear and bio waste out on the grass in your back yard. Gee thanks ever so much.
Obama, you’re such a clueless (or uncaring) putz. And at other times the guy just seems stupid – like at any moment he’s going to dial up a Rabbi and ask where he can get a good kosher ham sandwich.
Lemur King's Folly 
The single trigger might be the of the type of design the American Derringer Co uses: pull it the first time and the first barrel goes off; cock and pull a second time and the second barrel goes off. Reload and repeat.
My .357 mag double-barrel derringer works precisely this way.
Well I just learned something new there.
Is it a pain in the ass or does it go fairly smoothly?
Oh my. It’s after three. I need to be up in about four hours to go to work so I better at least look like I’m trying to go to sleep.
Talk at y’all tomorrow.
Ooh, brassiness. Yes, loaded with the proper amount of nails and rock salt, it should sweep multiple mines from one’s path.
Sorry I missed your troll. LC said he was lame–aren’t they all these days?
Oh, that wasn’t a troll.
That was a person who was so far from the truth they weren’t even wrong.
Gee, doesn’t sound like such a call after all, does it?
And I should be thanking him for spending my money on a government takeover of everything??
It’s not that he’s clueless….it’s that he likes being a tyrant.
Yeah, what Aggie said.
Mimesweeper coming along nicely, btw.
Not to be difficult, but…
Shouldn’t your mimesweeper have a silencer?
Oh, you difficult person, you…
Damn.
I was thinking of something that looked big, threatening, and capable of removing irritation in a non-ambiguous way.
I didn’t think about the irony of removing a mime silently.
The questions are:
1) which is better, remove the mime with an ungodly loud tool – or – silent takedown
2) would a silencer on a blunderbuss look like socks on a chicken?
3) is a silencer a device that is steampunk-kosher?
3) is a silencer a device that is steampunk-kosher?
Eh, put some gears and and a gas vent or two with caps on it.
As I think about it I have to wonder if using a silenced gun is too close to mime activity.
In other words, would you have to shoot yourself?
Half measures in Lemur’s mind are wasted measures.
I meant to comment on that.
Anything worth shooting is worth overshooting.
