The eighteen smoothbore barrels measure approximately .83 caliber, and ignition is performed with a hammer using a single percussion cap at the breech end. A reloadable 18-count magazine with fixed brass chambers measuring approximately .75 caliber/12 gauge for use with powder and ball is able to be pushed in for loading at the breech end. The original full sized Billinghurst-Requa volley gun had twenty-five barrels, but this example was made with eighteen barrels to fit scale requirements and keep a common bore diameter according to the included consignor note.

Fine overall with original finish and some light handling marks. Mechanically fine.
