The FAMARS Rombo is a model of four-barrelled break-action shotgun made by the FAMARS factory in Italy. The shotgun is produced in 28 gauge and .410 bore, and was primarily designed for small-game hunting. It is notable for having a bogglingly complex action, which allows all four barrels to be fired consecutively and sequentially using just the one trigger.

Not the Rombo

The open action of an actual Rombo.

Not a Rombo.

While the lower image often appears on the internet purporting to be of a FAMARS Rombo, it is not one. It is in fact a home made firearm with exposed hammers; the real Rombo is hammerless.

As can be seen by examining the upper image (left), the barrel arrangement of an actual Rombo is that of a standard SxS shotgun with an additional barrel both above and below in a "diamond-shaped" cross-section.
