I've updated the Weapons sheet, including CraigH's guns and I've added in the unique 14 Maxim-Nordenfelt gun (Exhibition model, meaning the shell and cartridge were a fixed piece), of which only two were made and fitted to HMVS Cerberus before being turned into field guns for the Boxer Rebellion, being left unfortunately in China. From what I gather these guns were remarkably good for their size, crew needs and time, being able to penetrate 7" of wrought Iron.

A 5-barreled Nordenfelt gun would interest me more, I have in mind several ships for it. Perhaps also a ship mounted Maxim machine gun could also be used in late 1890's.

I do have those planned, the 4 and 2 barrel versions though but I doubt there much difference in the 4 and 5 variants. There may be a .45" gatling with drum and Accles magazines included

Or perhaps a "coffee mil" machine gun (early 1860's).

The gatling is interesting concept for AU scenarios, I do not think anyone did put gatling on a ship (or boat) in that era..
