Like the Gatling, the Gardner gun was invented and developed in the US, It was a hand-operated weapon that had between one and 10 barrels, each of which fired once per turn of the crank. Such weapons were the precursors of the true machine gun, and could naturally deliver formidable fire power when they worked well. The Gardner was demonstrated to the US military several times during the 1870s, but although the weapon was shown to be reliable there was little interest in buying it, so when the British government invited Gardner to demonstrate the weapon in 1880 he did so, which resulted in orders from the Royal Navy and, after a delay, from the Army too.
