It weighs about 2,500 tbs., and is precisely of the same design as rho ordinary cannon. There aro ton chambers that revolve in the barrel proper, and each chamber has an in- dependent look. The main barrel is eight inches in diameter. The size of fhe cart'idge used is that of the 45 government rifle calibre. Email f eed drum contains 240 rounds. The fir- ing is done by operating a crank ; the cartridge is exploded. by a ham- mer which works with such great rapidity that 120 cartridges are fired a minute. The movement of the gun can bo so adjusted as to make it either stationary or oscillating, so that the gun practice can become either scatt- ered or centrifugal in its execution. At 700 yards the Getting gun has been known to hit a 12x16 foot target 300 times out of 400 shots. At 1;200 yards 118 out of 000 shots have struck n 9x25 ft. target. To show the rapid- ity with which the guns can bo work- ed, it might be explained that the time occupied in coming to action frontfrom trot and firing is 10 seconds; limber rear, mount and off, 18 seconds.
