I'm finally doing the HMVS Childers and found a peculiar photograph of a very detailed and accurate model which depicts a wing gun which looks similar to the Hotchkiss 1 pounder(37mm), I was wondering if anyone has done this gun before? ![[ img ]](http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/itemimages/419/362/419362_medium.jpg) Also I haven't seen any Nordenfelt guns around I suppose they haven't been done |

I believe it's a 37mm Hotchkiss ![[ img ]](http://navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_1pounder_m1_DeKalb_pic.jpg) According to the Cerberus site it's the automatic version, but the gun on the model doesn't look like it. ![[ img ]](http://navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_1pounder_m1_Hist_pic.jpg) Pictures courtesy of Navweaps.com |

Until recently our website (http://www.cerberus.com.au) incorrectly suggested that the 1st Class Torpedo Boat Childers carried two multi barrelled 37 mm Hotchkiss Guns. Further research has indicated that Childers actually carried two 1 pounder 1.5 inch Hotchkiss single barrel guns. Some details are available at http://www.cerberus.com.au/hotchkiss_1p ... eshow.html John Rogers Fleet Engineer (Victorian Navy) website, research & Friends of the Cerberus President. |
