There was a folding shotgun called the Burgess Folding Shotgun invented by Andrew Burgess of Buffalo, New York. It was an early slide-action shotgun, that could be folded in half with six loaded rounds, with a sliding grip. Instead of working the action with your front hand, you pull back with your trigger hand to cycle the gun. Apparently, it was very fast, and one of Burgess’ salesmen could hit six simultaneously hand-thrown clays in the air with the gun. That same salesman walked into Theodore Roosevelt’s office when TR was a New York city police commissioner, pulled a concealed Burgess shotgun out from its special holster under his coat, and shot six blanks into the ceiling before Roosevelt had time to even react. Being Teddy Roosevelt, he was quite impressed, and ordered 100 Burgess folders for the city’s prison guards. Sadly, the Burgess design lost out to Winchester's 1893 and 1897 designs, even though it was more innovative and compact, and then Winchester bought out Burgess and discontinued his gun.

Too cool. Of course there is a forgotten weapons video about them.
