The Vulcan. It's a 6 shooter using an index valve to change which barrel the air goes to after each shot. He had to stagger the barrels because the fittings would not all fit around the index valve.

Um, wouldn't calling a "rotating manifold valve" an "index valve" be the opposite of giving it a fancy name?

Those look quite useful. And it doesn't cost too much.
