Would this gun truly be considered similar to a revolver cannon? While it does technically use a "multi-chamber design", the "chambers" are much closer in design and usage to reusable metallic cartridge casings. Chitoryu12 (talk) 02:55, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By definition a "machine gun" uses pressure from the burning powder to cycle the action. This gun does not function in that manor therefore it is not a machine gun. 67.237.186.251 (talk) 22:26, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
