Jennings 12 Shot Repeating Rifle
A prototype of Isaiah Jennings Repeating Rifle, dated 1818. Unlike single shot rifles of those times, it could shoot 12 times in a row – it had a dozen independent gunpowder cameras.

Great!
How fast can the rifle shoot 12 bullets?
Did each bullet hit the same enemy or it is possible to shoot
12 enemies in a row?
Wow what a gun a real beauty.
Wonderful rifle.
Definitely it’s hard to believe this rifle is not some sci-fi movie accessory. It reminds me of flute or saxophon.
Nice find, Mope.
Seems something taken from a steampunk styled game.
Very good !! Shooting 12 times is a lot 🙂
