Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! Several years ago, my friend Joe Lozen had an opportunity to fire an original Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon. He kindly sent me this clip - it is the only footage of one of these actually firing live ammunition (note the recoil) that I am aware of. Thanks, Joe! You can also see some video of US military drill and blank firing from the Fields of Thunder Museum here: These cannons have a cluster of 5 barrels that rotate, chambered for 37mm (1.5“) shells. For more information on the design and history, see my full video: Contact: Forgotten Weapons 6281 N. Oracle #36270 Tucson, AZ 85740
