Civil War Billinghurst-Requal Gun
One yank of the cord (or pull of the lever?) would cause all barrels to discharge. As a breechloader, you opened the action, inserted the cartridge loaded strip into the barrels (think of it as a Bianchi Speed Strip made of steel) and cap it.
Would it or a modern reproduction of it per se be considered a machine gun?

Each barrel only fires one shot per trigger pull, I don't believe it would qualify for an NFA ruling .

Considering it's a black powder gun, could one make a replica? Would it be legal?

There are real deal Billinghursts out there.
The best video I have seen is offline, here is one pretty good. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...9C63&FORM=VIRE They do not fire fixed ammunition and are not NFA "firearms." |
