Gardner gun
The Gardner gun was an early type of machine gun. It had one or two barrels, was feed from a vertical magazine or hopper and was operated by a crank. When the crank was turned, a feed arm positioned a cartridge in the breech, the bolt closes and the weapon fires. Turning the crank further opens the breechblock and extracts the spent round.
