Légende

Nock's seven-barrelled carbine, 1807, (1881). 'A handsome volume bearing [the] title "The Gun and its Development", with the addition of "Notes on Shooting," by Mr. W. W. Greener, of Birmingham, gun manufacturer, has been published by Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin...[We present an illustration] of the seven-barrelled revolver carbine, made by Nock in 1807 for the British Government, but never, we suppose, actually put into the hands of our soldiers. The barrels, which were 28 inches long, were not rifled. The end view shows their seven muzzles, with the top of the ramrod, and the muzzle sight-piece'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
