Have you ever wondered how the weapons of DE work?

Hello to all gunsmiths and passersby:) Recently, I was preparing a plot for my D&D one-shot in the universe of our favorite game, and when it came to the shootout, I caught a thought about how the weapons work. How the Kiejl A9 Armistice(Kim's gun) works is pretty obvious, but what about the Villiers 9mm Pepperbox(Harry's real gun)? Why does it have three barrels and only one trigger pull, yet it doesn't look like it's reloading as a revolver? There is an assumption that it is reloads through the gunpoint, but it sounds strange, although I have not found another theory. How rifles work is also pretty clear, except Ister AR-FA7 (Ruud's anti-tank rifle). I recently found out that it shoots 6 bullets at the same time, and can we say that this is a kind of shotgun? Maybe I missed something, but the game says very little about how weapons work.

No, I have not wondered any of these things. But I LOVE that YOU have. I love Disco Elysium and it's unique universe. What's a ''one-shot''? You have written some DE fan fiction? I want to read it :)

Pepperbox implies that each sylinder is its own chamber and barrel with the whole frontal assembly rotating like a revolver to align each barrel/chamber with a single hammer or striker. Alternative is to have the entire front as a static assembly with three seperate cycling internal hammers or strikers operated by a single trigger. Big question is if its primer fired (most likely) or really old school with a flintlock but this is never mentioned iirc.

Muzzle loading is neccessitated by law as you know for both civilian and law enforcement use but this you should know, The implication being that even front loading chambers seperate from the barrel like an old school colt are banned. There is likely fairly comprehensive legislation around this but the full extant can only be inferred. It could be that its based on mechanism and features like some US gun laws or something like the norwegian gun laws where each seperate model, manufacturer and patent has to be individually approved.

think of it as a multi-barrel shotgun.

there is most likely a selection lever that will cycle through one barrel at a time per trigger pull, or fire all of them at once.

or the trigger itself has pull-stages where it will fire off the barrels the longer\more travel the trigger is pulled.
