Machine-gun?
editI'm not entirely sure the Nordenfeldt should be classified as a machine-gun, in that it's manually operated (ie, not fully-automatic) and has multiple firing barrels. IMHO it's really more of a mechanical volley gun, so perhaps the article could be amended to reflect the fact it's not technically a machine-gun in the traditional sense?

- Agreed. What tpo correctly call it has bothered me for a while. Rcbutcher (talk) 21:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
"3,000 rounds of ammunition in 3 minutes and 3 seconds"
editThat's 1,000 rounds per minute. That's twice the speed of a Maxim gun. Couldn't be. More like 300 rounds in 3 minutes. Rcbutcher (talk) 21:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
