What stopped 18-19th century armies with guns from being able to create automatic weapons like AK-47s and Uzis?
Since they don’t use electricity I feel like they’re made with materials and technology that was already available in the 1750s, surely they could’ve put their heads together to create a machine gun and just annihilate any ops…
Thanks

Do you realize how hard that is to load up with musket balls that quickly? I mean the fastest of gun loading probably took 25-30 seconds and I mean if you want to be shooting faster than that, imagine having to load a Gatling gun with that many. I mean then you also have to worry that while you’re loading one barrel, the one next to it might shoot your hand off. This alone probably made it the hardest part. /s
