4 barrel flintlock volley gun test fire

Thought I'd post pics and video of the finished 4 barrel volley gun being fired.

Did you just finish that one? Didn't you have a Nock with more barrels?

The first one I built blew up. This is the second one I built and had previously posted videos of its test fire off a bench and the whole thing went flying, though no damage was done. This is the finished gun.

Bench test fire



First attempt which had the barrels separate due to the torque of the barrels firing.

I love testing things to... "It Blew Up" so dial back the charge, up the structure... and lets blow it up again!

I knew you had blowed one up. But fixed it. It's the number of barrels I could not recall!

Cheers!
