Alway wanted a beehive round but they aren't cheap so I fired up the lathe. This one fire 5 rounds of 22lr by force of a 209 primer. Aluminum body with pressed is barrel liners. The launcher is a registered DD.

The primer force pushing the firing pin assembly into the five round. Load five rounds, drop I the retainer plate and firing pin before screwing on the base. The base holds the 209 primer. I used the base of a 410 she'll to hold the primer so I can easily use a new one if the primer pocket wears out.

Interesting to say the least? Is it legal?

It appears to be a zip gun fired from within a 37mm. Truly a unique "critter".

Yes its legal when fired out of a registered launcher. It's an NFA weapon and registered with the ATF.
Mine is a 37mm. The only thing available for the 40mm are Chalk rounds if you don't load your own. I just make my own components to load buckshot rounds, caulk rounds, stinger rounds, area burst pyro rounds. All NFA compliant
