.50 BMG Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon Reproduction
This video showcases a modern reproduction of the historical Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon, specifically chambered in .50 BMG. The description highlights its origins as a competitor to other early machine guns like the Gatling, emphasizing its unique 5-barrel rotating system and its development for naval use against torpedo boats, which influenced its larger caliber. Due to the limitations of its action with modern smokeless powder, this reproduction is fired using black powder .50 BMG handloads.
