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.

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.

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.

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.

Thought that I might buy a couple!!
