That Gardener gun is fantastic, the action is so very cool, and serial number 1 as well. I just hope whoever obtains these actually fires them and puts that footage online, always love seeing these in actual action rather than simply sitting in some deep storage getting dusty
Why does an expert refer to these as machine guns? They arent! Volley gun, gatling gun, and gardner guns do not operate on a recoil or gas system to load and fire the next round, (a machine gun). They DO put out a high rate of fire but so so with mechanical input from the ooerator. Not trying to be a gun nazi or anything but in the US you can own any of these as a firearm. No special permit or license needed. Miss identifying them is like calling 37mm flare guns grenade lauchers. It just feeds the anti gun peoples fears
Except they are. They are manually operated machine guns. The term machine gun predates automatic versions. The legally correct term "machine gun" is its own thing and is specific to the US.
❤ True gun history, of evolution of firearms, as always great show🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍸🍸
