HOTCHKISS CANNON - TONKIN INTEREST
« on: April 13, 2019, 11:37:34 PM »
Don't know if you guys are familiar with the "Forgotten Weapons" fils on You-tube.
They are very well done - the presenter is very expert and this one on a French Hotchkiss cannon from the Spanish American War will be fascinating for any enthusiasts of Ged's Tonkin range.

Enjoy !

Thanks for posting.  Besides wheeled ground mounts, it was also popular with many navies to use against fast-moving small boats deploying that new wonder weapon (torpedoes).
