US Navy .22 caliber hand cranked Hotchkiss cannon training gun

Produced in the late 19th century by an unknown company, this hand cranked machine gun was made to train sailors in the use of the 47mm Hotchkiss cannon, which was a popular revolving cannon in use by many navies in the late 19th century. 

The gun fired a .22 LR cartridge, a small, low powered, and inexpensive caliber which is popular for plinking, target shooting, and small game hunting. The gun was crank operation much like the Hotchkiss and the Gatling gun.  The gun was fed by a cylinder which held 60 rounds. The stock and barrel where taken from Winchester rifles. While the training gun did not exactly simulate the operation and firing of a Hotchkiss cannon, it was used to teach the basics of marksmanship to new recruits.
