I duck hunted with a guy that had a very old 12 sxs. You had to close it carefully or it would fire both barrels. It would fire the right barrel when you released the safety and the left when you pulled the back trigger. We shot a ton of Black Ducks and no one got shot, but that was a much different time. I had one old Cooey that the hammer wouldn't stay back on, so you pointed and let go the hammer in one fowl swoop. Another buddy had one that would open when the gun fired. He had a tin can slid over the break so it wouldn't open and kick the empty in his face.
