Indeed Abhibyakti,
Read this thing regarding Bira Gun invented by Gahendra samsher :
" invented by General Sri Sri Sri Maharajah Gehendra Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana (1871-1905) the "Bira" Double Barreled Quick Fire Rifle was no less than a virtual copy of the British Gardner Gun. In Martini-Henry .455/577 caliber fed from a double stacked 120rnd Pan Magazine the weapon was fired by a Crank Handle not unlike the American Gatling Gun. Interestingly, however, it required cranking backwards (counter-clockwise) which is supported medically, as it is more efficient, apparently, to "pull" than to "push".
At that time these guns were more efficient than contemporary British guns ( who were taking over the world ).
They are selling those guns for 27,500$ each.
