Firing an Original Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! Several years ago, my friend Joe Lozen had an opportunity to fire an original Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon. He kindly sent me this clip - it is the only footage of one of these actually firing live ammunition (note the recoil) that I am aware of. Thanks, Joe! You can also see some video of US military drill and blank firing from the Fields of Thunder Museum here: These cannons have a cluster of 5 barrels that rotate, chambered for 37mm (1.5“) shells.
