Mr. Hotchkiss was quite the Arms designer.

The 37mm revolving cannon is impressive. There is also a video displaying a 1/2 scale replica that fires .50 caliber BMG cartridges loaded with Black Powder. (How Practical)!

I still relish the Hotchkiss 1.65 inch Mountain Gun. It's breech mechanism is just super cool!

A 1/3 scale Mountain Gun, firing .50 BMG loaded with Black Powder, would make a helluva "Hood Ornament"!

A fuzzed exploding projectile would make it just the ticket for Cow Birds.

You build one Fred and I'll come down to Texas and help you crew it (and stomp birds).
