The gun on the left, an original Hotchkiss breech loader from the 1870’s, has just fired. In the middle is a 40 mm muzzleloading rifle on a reproduction Hotchkiss carriage (though with wheels from an old farm implement), and to the right is an original Krupp breech loading light field gun designed in the 1890’s. I have seen it hit a four foot square target at 600 yards.
