Firepower Back to the 1500s: Pre-Collier Repeaters https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/91fd6dd7-c6e0-4359-a0a3-b1cf509715d0 “Clockwork Basilisk: The Early Revolvers of Elisha Collier and Artemas Wheeler" is available right now for preorder on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/headstamp/clockwork-basilisk?ref=amkotn Samuel Colt wasn't the first person to invent a revolver, and Artemas Wheeler wasn't either. Today Professor Ben Nicholson joins me to discuss the history of repeating firearms before Wheeler and Collier - a history that goes clear back to the 1500s. From Roman candle type guns like the Chambers to superposed chamber designs like the Jennings to truly bizarre designs like the Dolep & Gorgo funnel pistol, we will cover it all!
