He commanded a militia unit with which he had some disagreement, and which mutinied against his comment at Roborough Camp in 1795. Some years later, he commissioned this quite unique firearm from Dupe &#038; Company of London.<\/p>\n<p>The gun is a single stock with two flintlock actions, two triggers, and two clusters of seven .30 caliber rifled barrels each. Each trigger fires a complete barrel cluster simultaneously. In addition to the firepower of this very remarkable weapon, he also had it finished in a truly magnificent fashion, including the fantastic line &#8220;PERDITION TO CONSPIRATORS&#8221; on ons of the barrel clusters &mdash; clearly he harbored some resentment towards his unruly militia subordinates even years later.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he had a second stock made to fit just one lock plate and barrel cluster, for when 14 barrels might be a bit of overkill. That stock is even more decorated that the first, with beautiful wooden relief carvings and the motto &#8220;<em>A Verite Gagner<\/em>&#8220;, meaning something to the effect of &#8220;Truth From Victory&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This gun is part of the Liege arms museum&#8217;s display of civilian arms, and I&#8217;d like to thank them for taking it out of their display so I could show it to you!
