Repeating Swivel Gun, Seven-barreled pre-loading flint gun aimed at a groundboard, with awl, gunpowder size and iron loading stick. The barrels, caliber mm, are bundled together in a bundle of six outer barrels around a middle barrel by means of brass bands and mounted on a baffle plate with bolts at the rear. A guide bracket is mounted in the center of the baffle plate. The flint lock, signed Haslett, is mounted on the left and is fired with a pull rope. The spark enters the first loop via the pan and is passed through connecting channels in one central distribution plate to the other

The spark enters the first loop via the pan and is passed through connecting channels in one central distribution plate to the other loops. It also works according to the principle of the Roman candle: seven consecutive charges are arranged in each barrel, the balls of which are pierced to pass the spark backwards. For example, 49 bullets are fired in a burst, the bullets of each run being fired one after the other by the time it takes for the gun to pass the spark through the bullet. The iron loading stick has a scale on the side that indicates the correct position of each load., James Chambers (possibly), United States of America, c. 1813 - c. 1814 and/or c. 1812 - c. 1815, iron (metal), brass (alloy), copper (metal), wood (plant material), l 56 cm × h 35 cm × c mm base: l 39 cm × w cm
