These simple gun systems can be made by any Big Gun skipper with out the need of laths and other machine shop tools. Multiple gun systems can be made by daisy chaining the single barrel guns onto the same firing button.

These guns systems are starting to make a return in the SCBG in ships that only require fixed guns systems. Made of solid brass, they are very reliable. The Arizona and Algol now carry these style guns, with other ships soon to follow, including the Fuso and Tabitha Brown.
