In 1480 Leonardo da Vinci was just over 30 years of age and at the beginning of his career as a military engineer. With his idea of a large multi-barrel gun with a high rate of fire. he demonstrated among other things the extraordinary scientific performance he was capable of. The basic idea was that an individual gun could be re-loaded whilst another was fired. Leonardo's multi-barrel gun is thus considered to be a forerunner of the machine gun.
On this model, each of the 10 gun barrels is formed out of moulded metal.
