Search - List of Books by James Puckle

James Puckle (1667—1724) was an English inventor, lawyer and writer from London chiefly remembered for his invention of the Defence Gun (better known as the Puckle Gun), a multi-shot gun mounted on a stand capable of (depending on which version) firing nine rounds per minute. The "Puckle Gun" is sometimes considered the first machine gun and resembles a large revolver. His best-known literary work (reprinted as recently as 1900) was The Club, a moral dialogue between a father and son.
