..and play a cheery tune at the same time.

With 12 barrels, each cut to a length that that would play a different note, you could cheer up the battlefield with a percussive version of "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms" for instance.

The shorter barrels would be less accurate giving a bit of a scatter effect but the main reason would be to have the musical aspect.

A must for any clown motif super villain.

       Hmm, when you run out of ammo you can just get it to play Stockhausen until the enemy retreats..

       Hermann Gatling was an ends-butcher in Dusseldorf who sold his patented "multi-orifice sausage producer" to the military which regularly had a surplus of dead horses and old gunpowder to dispose of.   

       Those old pictures have been retouched a bit too much: those aren't soldiers laying waste to the enemy, they're cooks preparing lunch.
