Confederate Revolving Cannon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Confederate Revolving Cannon
The Confederate Revolving Cannon was a weapon developed and used during the U.S. Civil War. The weapon was designed somewhat like a revolver pistol, scaled up to the size of a cannon. ==History==
Henry Clay Pate was a former attorney who, during the U.S. Civil War, organized a mounted company that was called Pate's Rangers or the Petersburg Rangers. The innovative Pate designed the revolving cannon, which he had cast at the Petersburg foundry in Petersburg, Va. This cannon was then made available to Pate's unit. The cannon saw use in the siege of Petersburg, Va. It was captured by Union troops at Danville, Va, on April 27, 1865. While innovative, the weapon did not play a significant role on the battlefield. After its capture, the cannon was sent to the Ordnance Laboratory, United States Military Academy, West Point, New York.
