Armstrong & Taylor Carbine - Too Little Too Late

This video details the Armstrong & Taylor carbine, a single-shot, breechloading firearm patented in 1862. The description highlights its unique rotating barrel mechanism and internal extractor. Despite its innovative design, the carbine arrived too late for the Civil War and was subsequently eliminated in the first round of the 1866 breechloading rifle trials. The video mentions its performance of firing 100 rounds of .41 rimfire ammunition at a rate of 14 rounds per minute, but notes it was deemed unsuitable compared to the eventual winner, the Allin Conversion (Trapdoor Springfield).
