WHAT DOES TURRET GUN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

turret gun

Turret gun

A turret gun is a type of multi-shot hand-held firearm. It is a variation on the percussion revolver, designed with chambers in a drum mounted so it would rotate horizontally, rather than around a horizontal axis, in an attempt to circumvent the patent by of Samuel B. Colt. Chambers opened in all directions, and the weapon was prone to row ignition, all chambers firing in sequence, resulting in fatal accidents because one chamber always faces the marksman. Several designs were attempted, including an 1837 Cochran and an 1851 Porter, whose designer was killed in a demonstration by a row ignition. A number of turret rifles were also attempted. None of these weapons were successful, due to the row-firing hazard. As a result, they are very rare and much sought-after.
