Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon
Invented in 1872 by Benjamin Hotchkiss, the 37mm Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon is a sort of gatling gun on steroids. Accepting 37x94mmR shells (both explosive and canister) from a gravity-fed hopper magazine, the cannon requires one full rotation of its hand crank to fire a shot. It's easier to keep up a consistent rate of fire with an assistant loader or two, but you'll have to make do all by your lonesome. Also includes the Hotchkiss Revolving Handcannon, a Hand Crank Frank-esque man-portable conversion of the cannon!
Controls
- Crank the crank 360 degrees to fire a shot
- Turn the gear under the cannon to adjust the elevation
- Turn the wheel on the left side of the cannon base to adjust the horizontal traverse (there's not much)
- Trigger-click the backplate to toggle the gun shield
- Trigger-click the ladder sight to fold it down
- Grab the "tail" and drag it around like the vanilla cannon to move the gun around

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
