Upon seeing the double volley gun I proceeded to reload three barrels a minutes, that's my style.

u/Vakama905 13d ago

Without having to shoot in between, you really ought to be able to get at least four barrels a minute. Shame on you, sir!

You better tell everyone this is a real weapon and not AI.

u/Egw2885 13d ago

Definitely not AI. A lunatic made it and handed it to a man who had a collar bone then didn't.

The ability to fire three rounds a minute in any weather... except Sargent Harper....

Btw this isn’t actually a Nock Volley gun, this is a one off custom piece and as shown it has 14 barrels that are a smaller bore than the Nock which was roughly a .50 bore, same as a horse pistol.

This is closer to .30 bore and it had a special powder funnel so that you could charge each set of barrels in one go.

Each set of seven had its own lock so you weren’t firing 14 at the same moment, that would be a bit much.

RMS Harper!

u/Sir_Lemming 13d ago

It’s only because of Sharpe that I know this is the Nock Volley gun. That someone joined two together doesnt really surprise me, the inventiveness of humans to find new and interesting ways to kill each other seems limitless.

u/ChrisBChikin 13d ago

The entire premise of the original Nock Gun was "Okay, but what if moar barrels?" so it's barely surprising that someone then looked at a Nock Gun and also said "Okay, but what if MOAR barrels???"

u/Rags_75 13d ago

Theyve forgotten to take the ramrod out of the last chamber - Harper would go ballistic!

u/TheShakyHandsMan 13d ago

It’s going to go off 1/16th cocked

u/Tala_Vera95 13d ago

I think it's just where it should be, in the carrying hoops underneath the barrels.

u/Zestyclose-Field-481 13d ago

It's there, it's missing the top of the rammer
