snowtracdave Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Would anyone mind if I gave them a bit of a clean and a dusting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papav66 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 is it for a cross-eyed soldier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 It is a obviously a French variation on the British Seven barrrel gun A La Harper in Sharpe. Hopefuly each barrel discharges in turn, next one for a dislocated shoulder please! I like that revolving rifle underneath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schliesser92 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It's obviously an early form of volley gun. Probably a prototype - I suspect that no one could handle it properly! And yes, the French were that bad - where do you think the word "Sabotage" came from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
