The Nordenfelt machine gun video is from the "Queen Victoria's Empire" series ("Scramble for Africa" episode) shown by SBS on April 15 2002. The commentator describes General Gordon's last stand in Khartoum.

Gordon may well have used a Gardner machine gun, but the re-creation for the series shows a 5 barrel Nordenfelt Gun. This video was generously made available by Brook Lapping Productions and Devillier Donegan Enterprises.

  • Why do you say it's fake justforever96? Gordon may well have used a Gardner machine gun, but the re-creation for the series shows a 5 barrel Nordenfelt Gun. I assume that the film maker could not obtain a Gardner so used a Nordenfelt which is a similar gun. One of the differences is that the Gardner gun has a crank and not a lever action.

  • It consisted of a mechanical system for firing bullets in quick successiion.

  • Is this like a 'Piano gun'? Multi barrels lined side by side?

  • Swedish Engenering FTW :)

  • That's a fake Nordenfelt...and he says "Gardner gun", which is entirely different mechanically.

  • ........ what the heck?
