Machine Guns of the Civil War...

I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but whatever it is, it is really interesting.

The Williams gun seems not to live up to its promise as a rapid fire weapon. It seems by 1864 the weapons were out of use for over heating and lack of fire power. In my mad search of the net I got a since that the weapon lack firepower.
 
I just visited the Virginia Museum of the Civil War located at the New Market Battlefield and they have a Williams Gun. I thought I would add the photos I took.
