| abstract | - A volly gun is a gun with multiple barrels and for them fire at the same time or in a sequence
- A volley gun is a gun with several barrels for firing a number of shots simultaneously or fires their barrels in sequence. They differ from modern machine guns in that they lack automatic loading and automatic fire and are limited by the number of barrels bundled together. In practice the large ones were not particularly more useful than a cannon firing canister shot or grapeshot. Since they were still mounted on a carriage, they could be as hard to aim and move around as a cannon, and the many barrels took as long or longer to reload. They also tended to be relatively expensive since they were more complex than a cannon, due to all the barrels and ignition fuses, and each barrel had to be individually maintained and cleaned.

Because of its size and weight, it is invariably mounted on a wheeled frame and is similar in appearance to the early Nordenfel and Gatling guns of our own world. All the barrels are fired by a single trigger. Roll once for each barrel to hit the designated target, then re-roll all the misses once. Any which hit on the second chance are targeted according to the following table: When a creature behind the target is hit, it is assumed to be because the target creature has moved slightly, exposing them to the fire. You may not fire one of these guns at a wall in the hope of getting this result and hitting someone who is hiding behind the wall! Needless to say, a volley gun requires one shot of powder and one ball per barrel per salvo.
- A fearsome machine (and possibly the best mechanical mercenary ever), the Volley Gun is designed to spread death, panic and misery over a large area. Although it is rather weak and slow, it is however armed with several small-calibre guns, capable of firing either shot or rockets into the foe, rendering it ideal for the gruesome task of picking off packed masses of troops. Most notable is the Volley Gun's ability to destroy cavalry at range, which might render it more useful in anti-cavalry defence. The only problem is that unlike most gunpowder units, this monster takes a long time to load so it is best used as a highly defensive unit, preferably teamed up with Castles or pikemen to protect it while reloading. Additionally, its lack of proper range also means that it is a fairly inferior choice as a siege weapon, and so should be used solely as a medium-range anti-personnel weapon, and although it trains much faster than a normal Culverin, its lack of accuracy, its high cost and its questionable accuracy makes it a rather debatable choice when it comes to units, although it must be said that 2 factions may benefit most from it: England and Japan. With their infantry-heavy armies, a Volley Gun may well be a perfect weapon to be used against cavalry civs, such as Mongolia and/or France. In Japan's case, the Volley Gun is the only non-siege gunpowder weapon available that can be used. Although fearsome to enemies unaccustomed to face them, firearms in the Mediaeval Era had one problem — despite their tremendous penetrative power, they were notoriously inaccurate, cumbersome and difficult to use — an arquebus was as slow and difficult to use as a crossbow — and sometimes more dangerous. The main tactic behind their use was thus to saturate an area with shots from several hundred individuals, or to create devices which could do the same. Thus, volley guns were born. The first versions of these were created in China, and were meant to rig and launch several missiles simultaneously. This multi-rocket launcher was a simple wheelbarrow with a wooden frame, and soon spread to Korea and then west. Later, a similar concept was soon discovered in Europe, consisting of a wheel-mounted frame bearing multiple gun barrels, called a ribault or an "organ gun" from the appearance of the gun barrels mounted together on the frame. Although perhaps even harder to load than conventional firearms of the day, the barrage effect of these weapons were so devastating that they were also called "infernal machines", perhaps by knightly adversaries who fell prey to them.
