Puckle Machine Gun Created in 1718 !! Oh Noes
The Puckle gun (also known as the defence gun) was a primitive crew-served, manually-operated flintlock revolver patented in 1718 by James Puckle (1667–1724), a British inventor, lawyer and writer. It was one of the earliest weapons to be referred to as a "machine gun", being called such in a 1722 .
IT RENDERS THE ARGUMENT THAT THE FOUNDERS COULDN'T FORESEE FIREARMS OTHER THAN MUSKETS INVALID. |
