Volley Gun Pt1.

The first design this author is going to tackle is the volley gun. A volley gun is a multi-barreled carriage weapon system that uses the principles of higher rate of fire and wider spread of projectiles to increase lethality which is achieved by having multiple smaller caliber barrels mounted on a carriage side by side or stacked on top of each other that are fired simultaneously or in sequence by their gunners.




Da Vinci had sketched out a number of volley gun designs the one this author selected is a model the that has improved the spread of the weapon by employing a duck foot arrangement to the barrel placement 200 years before the duck foot barrel arrangement becomes used in flintlock pistol construction in the 18th century






 The 3D mesh of this device is completed




This mesh has also been UV mapped to allow for the mesh to be textured



Sadly the amount of parts necessitate that was split between 2 UV maps: 1 focused on the frame of the gun, the trail and the lid over the barrel vents the other has all the other pieces
