Help Needed with a Wacky Weapon

So, I've got a character concept for an archaeologist bard that uses an obscure weapon from the pages of our world's history which has no decent equivalent in Pathfinder that I know of:

The Pistol Katar.

While I don't want to homebrew a whole new weapon for this, I'm wondering if there's anything in the books already that can help me realize this concept. A bayonet on a double-barreled pistol doesn't work and the dagger pistol only has one barrel, though that's the closest I've been able to get so far.

Anything from Pathfinder RPG, Golarion material, etc. is fine with me, but my party avoids 3rd party materials for the most part.

Thanks!


Looks to me like a dagger set into a brass knuckles-like handhold with two small-sized pistols attached.

Dmg 1d4/x3 (like a punching dagger)

Ranged Dmg 1d4/x3 for both pistols (like a coat pistol)

I don't see why you would want to use this, though?

Would there be a problem with homebrewing a second barrel onto the dagger pistol?

Unfortunately, I think so. Our group homebrews monsters, monster templates, and the like, but we've tried not to set a precedent by homebrewing anything that players, in the future, might potentially be able to abuse. Optimizing within the system, however, is allowed and encouraged.

I may be stuck with a dagger pistol, huh?

Also, to Orelius: Because it's awesome. Clearly. :)
