New Rapid Fire Gun Seized For Coast Defense At Derby
A new all pounder rapid fire gun designed to defend harbors and coasts has been seized on Briggs Sunburs Gun and Ammunition company grounds at Derby Lon. Mounted on a parapet carriage the weapon blends field and coast defense duties and promises to cut crew size while delivering volleys of shot and shell at high speed. The 64 shots per minute rate exceeds previous hand powered six pounders and marks a step in national defense plans.
