I Have This Old Gun: Nock Volley Gun

posted on February 28, 2014
The seven-barrel Nock Volley Gun was designed by the British Navy to repel boarders during battles between ships, but it didn't quite live up to its potential with ship captains. It is, however, still celebrated through popular culture in both books and films. Watch this past episode of American Rifleman TV to see NRA Museum staff fire this incredible firearm.
