Nordenfelt 2-barrel Anti-Torpedo-Boat gun

Animation of a 2-barrel Nordenfelt 1 inch anti-torpedo boat gun, circa 1885. Nordenfelt’s first mechanism, as used in the 4-barrel gun, was rather cumbersome. This second system was much more compact, and was used on other models, including 5-barrel rifle calibre guns.The 2-barrel gun was a lot lighter than the 4-barrel gun, and could be mounted on boats or in the fighting tops of warships. For more information on Nordenfelt guns, google for victorian ship models and Anti torpedo boat guns, or search for other vbbsmyt animations on YouTube.
