Videos News ARTV Reviews Historical Rifles I Have This Old Gun
The seven-barrel Nock Volley Gun was designed by the British Navy to repel boarders during battles between ships, but it didn't quite live up to its potential with ship captains. It is, however, still celebrated through popular culture in both books and films. Watch this past episode of American Rifleman TV to see NRA Museum staff fire this incredible firearm.
