Perdition to Conspirators! Magnificent 14-Barrel Flintlock

/ forgottenweapons

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.bbtv.com/c...
Colonel Thomas Thornton was a wealthy and somewhat flamboyant character in England in the late 18th and early 19th century. He commanded a militia unit with which he had some disagreement, and which mutinied against his comment at Roborough Camp in 1795. Some years later, he commissioned this quite unique firearm from Dupe & Company of London.
The gun is a single stock with two flintlock actions, two triggers, and two clusters of seven .30 caliber rifled barrels each. Each trigger fires a complete barrel cluster simultaneously. In addition to the firepower of this very remarkable weapon, he also had it finished in a truly magnificent fashion, including the fantastic line "PERDITION TO CONSPIRATORS" on ons of the barrel clusters - clearly he harbored some resentment towards his unruly militia subordinates even years later.
In addition, he had a second stock made to fit just one lock plate and barrel cluster, for when 14 barrels might be a bit of overkill. That stock is even more decorated that the first, with beautiful wooden relief carvings and the motto "A Verite Gagner", meaning something to the effect of "Truth From Victory".
This gun is part of the Liege arms museum's display of civilian arms, and I'd like to thank them for taking it out of their display so I could show it to you! If you are in Liege, stop in and see the museum:

[@rxh-kq6lh]

Can confirm there is a "LA" before "VÉRITÉ", and an "A" at the end of "GAGNER", very shallow and not quite visible at first sight, making it "GAGNERA" which is the 3rd person singular future tense of the verb "gagner", "to win". So it literally means "the truth will win".

Oh it is even better than that. Seems the "mutiny", which I'm sure in Thornton's eyes it was, consisted of him being forced to resign his commission after facing a court-martial instigated by fellow officers. The reason for this, during a muster at Roborough Camp near Plymouth his men pulled him around in his carriage while cheering for him. It seems Thornton put this incident down to jealousy on the part of the officers and a personal vendetta the Commander in Chief, the Duke of York, had against him. Now as for his being a Francophile, during the 1 year peace between Britain and France in 1802 he personally presented expensive pistols to one Napoleon Bonaparte, and it was during this time he made his "sporting trip through France" that he wrote about. The Napoleonic Wars started the next year but even before that ended he had returned to France on another sporting trip and as soon as the war ended he moved to France.

More like "14 bullets in the dead man's chest" tbh

*Shoots* Clears everything in sight 10 mins later: "OK, ready to fire again"

[@roboticunclephil]

this is straight out of a video game. What a badass that guy must have been back in the day lol

[@ShrekMeBe]

what a obominable shot he was, you mean.. Can't hit with a decent sized bullet? Np, you'll certainly hit something with seven smaller ones

[@Volvith]

Next DOOM Game: "So, we upgraded the super shotgun once again..."

[@chase9316]

It's not a shotgun lol

[@jasonficcone2605]

This is basically the precursor to the claymore mine, except for the fact that you can change the direction and operate it manually.

[@JTawesome92]

This gun: *exists* Doomguy: *heavy breathing*

[@packetdrinks9215]

Imagine dual wielding this with 12 gauge

[@QUACKHEAD23GAMING]

thats really not that funny tbh

"Oh no, I got too much of a stiffie and it broke my armour!" :(

[@Papperlapappmaul]

That's so original.

[@1337penguinman]

Seems more like a Serious Sam weapon, but I get where you're going with this.

[@raycooke312]

Awesome workmanship

Doomguy: "Not enough barrels"

[@BillMcD]

more like "too slow to reload"

@@BillMcD Doom Guy: Laws of physics don't apply to me, as I'm fighting hell's army on Mars, and can become a GOD for a short time, and punch through demons with a single blow if I find a blue magical orb with a face on it sent down from the heavens by GOD himself to help me. 😉

[@ElindorBG]

the details on this gun are spectacular

*Doom Slayer gets teleported back in time, first thing he does is pick up this bad boy* XD

[@Cyanova1312]

I can't help but point this out every time I come across it: 'Ye' is still pronounced as 'the', as early printing presses didn't often have the then used (in English) letter thorn (Þ, þ) the available letter Y was used in its place, to represent the sound 'th'. Funny that the 'Y' only stuck as the sound for certain things ('you' being a great example). With a slightly different history the guy could have been Yornton or Þornton.

I believe this is legal to own for home defence here in England, Perdition to Burglars.

[@EldarKinSlayer]

As I understand it Subjects of The Crown may not own anything for protection. You may use whatever you own to protect yourself but you better have a good reason to own it besides defense.

[@peterv1318]

EldarKinSlayer - exactly. Very well said.

[@SonicsniperV7]

@@EldarKinSlayer "I want to own this to hunt" "Hunt what?" "Busses"

[@51WCDodge]

@@EldarKinSlayer Wrong, there has always been a case for self defence in Common Law, which is a misunderstood term now in its own right . The Magistrates court act 1968 states 'Any person may use such force as in reasonabe in the prevention of crime, or making a lawful arrest'. The crime you would be preventing is the assult on yourself. Note the Any Person, there is no such thing as a Citizens Arrest in England, Wales or Northern Island. EU legislatio also clarified the matter to specific defence of oneself or others.

[@oldwolf9403]

@@peterv1318 And the sad part.. the Declaration of Rights of 1688 directly applied to the right to self-defense. See also: Blackstone's commentaries on the constitution and laws of England, book 1, chapter one, on the Absolute Rights of Individuals, so that if ever again the laws became insufficient restraint upon the ruling class, and the rights of British subjects were threatened, they had the authority to use force for their preservation. This (along with the subsequent Tolerance Acts and Habeas Corpus Act) were what led to the Declaration of Independence (following the Declaration of Right's indictment of King Charles and his sons) and the Revolutionary war. The "American" bill of rights was British in its origin, the rights, privileges, and immunities of British subjects, now long forgotten. It was transferred under right of conquest to the American people, as immunities to government action under Article 4, with far less limits than the British system, as they belonged to the people, not the government.

Imagine firing both sides at the same time. 14 guns going off on your shoulder at once.

A volley gun was used to shoot Nelson from the crows nest where vision was optimal , the small ball extracted from him is on display in Windsor Castle.
