Henry Knock
London
1790-1800
London gun designer Henry Knock's volley gun may be the largest the Charleston Museum has to offer - at least some of its smaller ones. Knock created only 600 of these powerful weapons since the beginning of the 19th century, making an agreement with the Royal Navy that required a close range and effective weapon for use in the Napoleon wars. Each one is approximately one and a half inches of diameter (or. Playing seven 50-calibre) barrels, those bulls were all released at once with one squeeze of the preacher; as a result, spraying the lead ball to damage the opposite ship or... It is intended to disrupt people's actions".
Knock managed to produce a scary gun However, the volleygun was definitely not significant deficiency when a ship shot the enemy's deck from the main axe. As one can guess, the Volleygun is a 12 pound firearm (and weighing another pound when fully loaded). In addition, seven large-hole barrels were shattered simultaneously, causing a severe retreat which could disabled his shoulders by shooting by the sailor. The worst thing is, burning in its mouth, creating a significant danger of burning its sail, knowing the fireworks are leaking for several yards from the mouth. The Royal Navy finally judged 1802-03 to be very dangerous for its use of volley guns, and Nork had no choice but to give up his creation.
