It might also help to look for it with reference to the Nordenfelt Gun.
There's been lots of speculation about the recoil. Despite the weapons overall weight, the recoil from 3 barrels firing at the same time cannot possibly increase your chance to hit and the entire purpose of the weapon was to increase the hit chance!
Here's one thread with a few more images.

P.S. I believe the second model of the Pribor had forward ejection of the cases, I only remembered that after having another look at the photos! |
Thanks for the link and info. And for some reason the bullpup action makes me think of the OTS-14 Groza, interesting looking firearm...butt ugly as hell though.
