10-barrel ‘Volley Gun’ repeater

[Lefty38-55]

It almost came home with me, but we were $500 apart … and neither one of us would budge. Oh well, I know where it is, I will try it again in a few months. For sale in VT …

There’s a common ‘trough’ (pronounced ‘troth’) that feeds all barrels. A line of BP is poured into it and when lit, it ignites one barrel, then another, then another, etc.

That's cool but the Vickers right next to it would be easier to load.

Those wheels are in pretty bad shape.

That’s a good rack full of reloading dies, and plenty commie ammo. The little water cooled toy looks like fun. I could do without the power force vacuum though, I prefer hard floors that sweep easily. The vintage ammo display in the background next to the vacuum is pretty neat too. Buy the whole room including contents. If you still have money left after that come back and we can spend that for you too.

Yup there's a lot of money sitting in that room

Did you know

Da Vinci developed the Multi-Barreled Cannon in 1480. The 12-barreled gun carriage was a vast improvement over traditional cannons of the fifteenth century. Leonardo's design called for a fan-like shape that widened the firepower and made it a potentially more effective weapon against a line of advancing troops. He sold the design to the French where he had moved to finish his life.​

Looks like all smooth bores. Put it in old Fort Ticonderoga just inside the main gate and maybe Ethan Allen could have warded off the British.

Requa Battery Guns. Four of them were used on Morris Island (Siege of Battery Wagner) in Charleston Bay.

True, but it takes a lot more paperwork.

At the time of the amnesty right before GCA 1968 went into effect, a Georgia Tech classmate registered a DEWAT Maxim gun in the hopes of being able to reactivate it. I wondered what the dormitory cleaning lady thought about a machine gun in the middle of his room.
