The marque and reprisal clause contemplated a population so well armed and equipped as to need only naked permission to shoot first and loot the contents to begin reaving enemy shipping.

Friendly reminder that they had a machine gun in naval service at the time of the signing of the constitution that fired 120 rounds per minute

Thanks! To the credit of u/thegrumpymechanic the image of a puckle gun did pop in my head, I just couldn't remember the name. I wasn't aware of the chambers

Maybe thinking of the Chambers Machine gun, or a Puckle gun? Who knows, kind of stupid to not just name the gun.

I was tired at the time, didn't think to name it. Talking about the Chambers. The Puckle gun hardly classifies as a machine gun. More like a cannon sized revolver

the times changed and people realized that maybe having a central building in town full of enough gun powder to level the town was not a safe idea
