What would be the legal ramifications to having a gun with, say, three triggers, side by each, where pulling the first trigger would fire one round, further depression of the gang of triggers would fire another round, and completing full travel on the gang of triggers would fire a third round? Only one round would fire per trigger. Any subsequent rounds could not be fired until the next sequential trigger is pulled, and the next sequential trigger could not be pulled until the gun is in full battery. Stopping the trigger pull at any point would cease the firing. Releasing the gang of triggers would reset all three. Essentially, you could fire only one round at a time, two at a time in rapid succession, or three at a time in rapid succession.
The gun would not be automatic. It would take three trigger pulls (all three triggers being pulled, one at a time, albeit in rapid succession) to fire the three rounds at any rate you so choose depending upon whether you pulled the triggers slowly, pausing between firings, or applied steady pressure to the triggers and each subsequent round would fire as soon as the gun returned to battery.
It would not be select fire, meaning all three rounds would not fire with only one trigger pull. The triggers could also be arranged so each one could be pulled individually and in any order.
