Re: Billinghurst-Requa Volley gun calibers and lan

Thank you Joe...Rarely do I get such detailed information. I suppose you have seen the enclosed picture. Looks like bullets are held in a rack which he is holding in picture and were fired from their centers all at once as rack came in contact with back of casing. I belived the Kentucky Historical Museum has a gun and might be able to send you a detailed picture of the breech.

Thanks again
Dave Poche
