Homemade Battery-Operated Multi-barreled Muzzle-Loading Gun
(Received 2 June 2003; accepted 27 May 2003)

Abstract

In a recent shootout by a terrorist group against a law enforcement agency, some unusual firearms were seized. On examination, these firearms were found to be homemade, battery-operated, multi-barreled muzzle-loading guns, analogous to a repeater. Reference to batteryoperated firearms is rather scanty in the literature. Hence, the unique design features, electrical circuit, and the operation system of these unusual guns are described.
