Swedish Sjorgren Inertial. The world's first inertial system on a shotgun that I know of. You can still find these out there in the world but they are pretty rare.

Japanese Type 11 Machinegun. Rather unusual method of feeding and loading but very interesting logistically speaking.

 

[Christopher S.]

American Colt-Browning M1895 Machinegun. Aka, the Potato Digger. Outwardly, not so strange but it's essentially a full auto lever action.

Russian experimental model TKB-059 Triple Barrel AK

 

[Christopher S.]

Russian Dragunov SVU-A Bullpup

 

[Christopher S.]

Russian SHAK-12. Short barrel bullpup assault rifle firing a cartridge very similar to .50 Beowulf

Below is the same action and cartridge albeit an AP variant with a proprietary suppressor the VKS

 

[Christopher S.]

Russian VSK-94. Resembles the Russian AS-VAL and VSS rifles, but it is not integrally suppressed like they are. Rather it's a modified A9-A1 rifle for special purposes.

Russian 9A-91 below for reference.

 

[Christopher S.]

Russian A91 bullpup. Essentially a modified AK-74M with a notably higher fire rate of 900 rpm. The strange handguard is hollow to allow for a GP-25 grenade launcher or can be modified for a special flashlight.

 

[Christopher S.]

Russian BS-1 Tishina "Silent Grenade Launcher". It is for all intents a 30mm, multi-shot mag fed grenade launcher designed to suppressed the sound of the grenade firing. Never heard one firing, so can't say how well it would work but being you don't see it fielded often I'd say it didn't work that great.

Saw a video on one of those today ironically. Folding stock version looks pretty cool too.

J. M. Browning made Harmonica rifle. Essentially a short throw lever action using percussion caps for ignition.

Jarre 10 shot pinfire Harmonica Pistol

 

[Christopher S.]

Pancor Jackhammer Automatic Shotgun. Seen plenty in movies and games although real life production numbers were low to none as I understand it.

 

[Christopher S.]

Crye Precision Six 12. Never got made outside of proto typing stages if I recall. Was supposed to be a modular shotgun that could be converted to short underbarrel style, compact pistol style, and more traditional style albeit a bullpup.

 

[Christopher S.]

China Lake Pump Action Grenade Launcher. This is what led to the development of the M203 grenade launchers we see today.

 

[Christopher S.]

Sunngard 1909 Pistol. Made in Finland, it's unique that it hold 2 magazines in the grip, each holding 25 rounds of a .25 caliber cartridge. The magazine closest to the trigger is the one that feeds first, then like any normal magazine change you must move the next one into position. So, a very early take on the concept of coupled magazines. I believe they were also made automatic as well.
