Shotgun Banjo Sabata (1969)
Giving a whole new meaning to the term 'duelling banjos', the aptly named Banjo (William Berger) carries a four-string with a shotgun replacing the neck. As a disguised shotgun it's feasible, but it seems unlikely that it would also function as a working musical instrument, as it does here. You would, at the very least, find yourself replacing a lot of strings and re-tuning often. See also the bazooka instrument cases hefted around in El Mariachi and its sequels. Lee Van Cleef's Sabata himself carries a four-barrelled Derringer that also shoots a single bullet from the butt. It's unclear why this is better than a normal six-shooter.
