    Isn’t this called a deck gun volley gun? They’re for dealing with mutinees, the concept was that four people could die at random and nobody wanted to be that guy so they should stand down.

      I can find no googley/bingy resemblance to that. But the idea of it, like this giant steering wheel attached to my crotch, is driving me nuts.

          duck footed volley gun

          A few hand-held volley guns were also developed during the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the most distinctive was the “duck’s foot” volley gun, a pistol with multiple barrels arranged in a splayed pattern, so that the firer could spray a sizable area with a single shot.[7] The principle behind this type of pistol is one of confrontation by one person against a group; hence, it was popular among bank guards, prison wardens and sea captains in the early 19th century.

          Well done, Captain my Captain!

            So just don’t worry about the bank customers, or what?

      I remember an episode of Pawn Stars featuring these exact weapons and it is as you say, they’re for crowd control on a ship.
