@@Mrjohnnymoo1 It is a often-repeated lie that only a handful of anti civil rights Democrats switched to the Republican Party over Civil Rights. The true number is that between 1964 and the 1990s, over 400 influential Democrats defected to the Republican Party, and they came from federal, state and local levels of government. Seriously -- over 400 easily identifiable Democrats later became career Republicans in response to Civil Rights. It is not true winning WWI and WW2 had nothing to do with Democrats being more able than Republicans. You must remember the Republicans disarmed America to save save a buck both times. FDR was a very left wing president who was elected 4 times for his ability to lead during times of extreme crisis. BTW the communism argument doesn't hold up -- in 1960, Nikita Kruschev gave a speech to the Duma stating that "there will be communism in the USSR within 20 years". -- They never got it because the Soviet ruling class was just as inept at filtering resources as every centralized ruling class.

We do not interpret constitutional rights that way.

They'd had water resistant tape since the late 1600s, and they've had waxed linen or hemp of the same resistance for longer...I'd say these were in a case, and wrapped in waterproof cloth, probably wax plugged, as said above, and maybe even with the case lid tape sealed....there would be plenty of blades on board in that era. Ships closed slowly, you'd have considerable time to get them out and up in position, even if 'unexpectedly' stumbled upon an enemy ship, or she you. I'd say most of the failure was the hit or miss loading, and ammunition, and the quality controls, or limits of, in that time. I'm sure the US Navy was already well aware of how to protect their guns from the undesirable environs they operated in. Otherwise their cannons and muskets would be unreliable too....but most of the time they worked fine.

Joseph Gaston Chambers is a close relative of mine. Along with this gun, he had also invented a repeating rifle and pistol (13 shots and 6 shots respectively, IIRC) using stacked rounds and charges and a ratcheting hammer system that worked its way to the rear of the barrel, as well as an underwater breathing system (which worked, but the sealant fumes almost killed him), and a phonetic system for teaching English. Pretty interesting guy. His correspondence with Washington and Jefferson can be found on the Founders Online archive.

Others are sooking at the "scary assault rifle like" performance level of straight pull rifles and shotguns(pump shottys already in un-obtanium cat but lever and straight pull currently are not) and crying for restrictions SMH...Im just thankful at this stage they haven't figured out how fast (the extremly prevalent here..) lee enfields are ,yet.SHH dont tell them or ill have to move, they aren't getting mine.

'Roman candle' muskets were well known back in the days of matchlocks but most makers stuck with one barrel - of course the Chinese had multi barrel ones with sticky incendiary bullets too, and kept using them until around WW2. There are some with multiple locks too as well as moving locks, so semi-auto. In the patent diagram Chambers has 2 locks, one for 'dump the mag' and a last, single round which also made it usable as a regular musket/rifle (just don't get the triggers mixed up)

That being the case, the weapon would finish in about 15 seconds, given the rate of fire. Nonetheless, a huge number of rounds going down range.

Thank you so much for showing this. It's amazing. I hope to someday see a reproduction fired, perhaps in a movie. So when our Founding Fathers of the US weren't shooting their Lorenzoni, Cookson, and Girandoni repeaters, or ordering Belton flintlocks that shot multiple superposed rounds to supply the American Revolution (a hundred such muskets were ordered by the Continental Congress for military use in 1777), they were shooting their Chambers high-capacity fully-automatic machine guns firing 224 rounds, several per second, for _minutes_ without reloading. I can't wait to mention this gun the next time someone who should know better tells me that in the 18th century people had not conceived of the idea of repeating firearms. I'll explain to them that being handmade and complex machines, early repeaters were expensive to produce and often unreliable. The ones that were reliable were extremely expensive compared to the common firearms of the day, and required highly sophisticated knowledge to produce. The ideas existed then, but the manufacturing techniques to effectively put these advanced weapons into mass production had not yet been developed. Otherwise we probably would have seen a lot of repeating muskets and perhaps even machine guns on the battlefields of the American Revolutionary war and other conflicts in the late 18th century. The gunsmiths had functional designs, but engineering a functional design is only half the work of producing an object. There was no way to build enough of these guns at low enough cost with high enough quality control to make them common weapons. If they had designs for AKs and ARs time-traveled to them they would not have been able to produce them in quantity if at all, although we know the designs work. But if they had a modern factory with modern tools, they could have equipped armies with repeating weapons like these, since they possessed working examples made by the gunsmiths of the era. By manufacturing with more precision with less effort with better materials and a lower cost, some of these early repeaters could be made to work reliably enough at a price to have major military sales. The point is, the people of the 18th century had the firearms technology for effective repeaters, they only lacked the manufacturing technology to make them commonplace, which is why they were rare and are now obscure. Unfortunately so, because early repeaters are such a fascinating subject in the history of firearms technology. Videos like this are major sources of publicly accessible information that popularize knowledge of these firearms. I greatly appreciate it.

@P77777777 I agree, I dont think they would have allowed the construction of devices that would compromise the country or the people within it - for any reason. They took to defend firearms and explosives for individual freedom, nukes essentially give anyone the ultimate power of fear just owning them. Infringing on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of everyone. A firearm or explosive can harm few to many but that small amount of people is normally selected by the user, things like nukes effect millions of people, un-selected, and for years to come. There is no upside to having or using a nuclear device. Firearms/Explosives secure the freedom for the individuals, giving them the power to fight attackers and tyrants. People like to think that Everyone would have Nukes and Explosives, Tanks, Blackhawks if there was no NFA or the other "controls" that were passed. Yet they dont realize that people can own Tanks that can fire right now....how many of those do you see rolling around shooting up the place? Nukes and other Hazardous Chemicals/Explosives are restricted through a variety of clauses, registries, statues, and directives so they wouldnt be in anyone's hands even if they could afford them (legally). No matter what legislation passes you have the Right to own any small arms you want, just dont let the Policy Enforcers know about it and keep it for when it will be needed, history tends to repeat itself and those who dont heed the warning will suffer the most.

Longer, hours.... remember you have to get EVERY round in exactly the right position, so you'd load pretty slowly. Id say at least 30 seconds per round. I reckon hour and a half, to 2 hours.

They probably had powder horns specifically for this that had measuring cups, and those notches in the ramrod probably had a wooden rider that would help ensure you did not overconpress the powder.

It's actually dual-purpose. It can provide both a base of fire and - after a few rounds - a handy smokescreen with which to cover the advance of an entire armada.

I saw a similar thing at Glucksburg castle i Germany last year, nine barrels with ten or so shots each and a shoulder stock... Interesting stuff!
