Firepower Back to the 1500s: Pre-Collier Repeaters (ad-free)
Added 2022-11-25 12:00:06 +0000 UTCβClockwork Basilisk: The Early Revolvers of Elisha Collier and Artemas Wheeler" is available right now for preorder on Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/headstamp/clockwork-basilisk?ref=ec8u93
Samuel Colt wasn't the first person to invent a revolver, and Artemas Wheeler wasn't either. Today Professor Ben Nicholson joins me to discuss the history of repeating firearms before Wheeler and Collier - a history that goes clear back to the 1500s. From Roman candle type guns like the Chambers to superposed chamber designs like the Jennings to truly bizarre designs like the Dolep & Gorgo funnel pistol, we will cover it all!

2022-11-25 22:06:36 +0000 UTCI do wonder about those harmonica guns. did they had several "magazin/chamber" as a standart option? that would predate lee magazins quiet a bit. man they really must have had THE most skilled guys around for those early wheelguns.
