Gardner Machine-Guns
A U.S. Army Captain, William Gardner, invented a .45 calibre crank-driven, two-barrelled gun. It proved surprisingly efficient when tested in Washington in 1879, firing 10,000 rounds in 27 minutes. However, the US Military would not purchase the weapon, so Gardner moved to Britain where his gun was adopted into service in 1884. [Gn1]
