The Lorenzoni Repeater
One of the great challenges of early gunmaking was the production of multi-shot firearms. Towards the end of the 17th century, the Florentine court gunmaker Michele Lorenzoni produced repeating guns with a 30-shot capacity. The system named after him offered fully automated processes for charging powder and bullet, priming, shutting the battery and cocking. However, similar models presented a relatively high risk of explosion.
