The Puckle Defence Gun was a revolver based cannon invented in 1718 by British inventor and lawyer James Puckle. Puckle Gun was a tripod-mounted, single-barreled flintlock weapon fitted with a multishot revolving cylinder. It was intended for shipboard use to prevent boarding. It had a pre-loaded cylinder which held several (8-11) charges. Puckle demonstrated two versions of his basic design - one, intended for use against christian enemies, fired conventional cannon balls, while the second variant, designed to be used against the Muslim Turks, fired square bullets. The square bullets were considered to be more damaging. The square bullets, however, were discontinued due to their unpredictable flight pattern. The Puckle gun was fired in a similar fashion to a conventional flintlock musket; however, after each shot, a crank on the threaded shaft at the rear would be unscrewed to release the cylinder to turn freely. The cylinder would then be advanced by hand to the next loaded chamber, and the crank turned back again to lock the cylinder into the breech of the fixed barrel. The flintlock mechanism could then be primed for another shot. According historical sources the gun was able to fire 63 shots in seven minutes which mean approx nine rounds per minute. However there is no evidence that the gun were ever used in any battle.
