Is Mise, being a gun expert as you are. A question; how many people could you mow down in 30 seconds with the latest and greatest automatic machine gun? I think its no more than 200, you may disagree.

JF aUS,
No, seven different shots, that is seven charges of powder and shot. Paul, I haven't got the faintest idea, my mind doesn't work along those lines, but if it turns you on. Ref the Adler have you got $10,000 to wager? If not a dollar will do. Posted by Is Mise, Friday, 11 November 2016 9:49:22 AM

Is Mise,
I suggest load one powder charge, 7 round lead shot and one fuse or detonator. Then shoot off seven shot simultaneously I think there has to be a similar catch to what you are indicating about speed in muzzle loading. Posted by JF Aus, Friday, 11 November 2016 10:13:32 AM

JF Aus,
No, seven separate shots, seven separate charges, wads etc. Posted by Is Mise, Friday, 11 November 2016 11:11:08 AM

If what you say is possible it takes this gun debate back a long way.
How many cowardly mass shootongs were there back then? However I think it impossible for you to beat a lever action. Posted by JF Aus, Friday, 11 November 2016 1:26:06 PM

JF Aus,
You were on the right track; I would have no trouble, nor would anyone else, with Samuel Nock's 7 barrel volley gun, in which one pull of the trigger fires the 7 barrels more or less instantaneously ; late 1700s. http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/a-rare-32-bore-second-model-naval-seven-barrelled-5509748-details.aspx Thought that I might buy a couple!!
