This weapon is very useful to our army's. This weapon can pump out 200 rounds a minute. The original purpose was to stop war but it completely reinvented the war by having a bigger and faster gun just made things worse. This invention was made for the U.S.A for the Civil War.

It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine - a gun - which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred, that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and consequently, exposure to battle and disease [would] be greatly diminished
