Title: If I had muttonchops and was designing an assault weapon...
Post by: Mr.Marx on 21 August 2014, 09:59:54 PM

...I'd probably make something like this.

The Manville Gas Gun.

I'd read about this weapon (tool?) before, but I was so taken by the novelty of the fact that it needs to be wound up, that when I watched this video that I thought that I'd post it up on here.

If I was knocking around in the 1880s, a wind-up revolver shotgun would be exactly the sort of thing I'd want for charging headlong into the enemy, should I be the sort of person who makes a habit of doing such things.

Sounds perfect for The Society of Thule's Totenkopf Brigade. Thanks for sharing this  :D

Sounded like a 'Streetsweeper', which was designed for shotgun shells.

Didn't realize it started in Africa, then came to the states in a cheapened version.

Obviously, has a MUCH older pedigree.

Thanks!
