I have previously posted about the Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon (here) design along with pics of a nice museum piece. Yesterday I came across a nice example of a Naval version on a pedestal mounting at the Royal Australian Navy's Heritage Collection at the Garden Island naval base, in Sydney.
Whats the humdrum about Chaps? Adventures into Victorian Science Fiction and Steampunk with ramblings about Aeronefs, Dirigibles, Land Ironclads, Anarchists, Dinosaur Hunting, Terranefs, Aquanefs, Mad Scientists, and all manner of electric contraptions and steam conveyances. It may not make sense, but there will be claret and a nice cheese board at the end. Tally-Ho and "Vôtre dans une sauce au vin blanc!"

You wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of that one!
What I call a serious 'Sod off' weapon. Interesting photos, thanks for sharing.
I'll bet you'd just love to give that a go. :-)
Thanks for the pictures, always good to see another surviving 'piece'...
Fascinating post. Thank you so much for sharing.
