"Master Engineer Volker von Meinkopt found inspiration watching students reloading at the Imperial Gunnery School. He had a revelation: more barrels = more shots = more lethality. He soon produced the first repeating handgun."
An Empire Engineer armed with a Repeater Handgun.
The Repeater Handgun, also known as "Von Meinkopt's Whirling Cavalcade of Death," is a bizarre, multi-barreled firearm that spits out a torrent of bullets at its enemies before each barrel must be reloaded. It is another invention of the crafty engineers of the Empire's Imperial Engineers School in Altdorf, led by Master Engineer Volker von Meinkopt, who got the idea while watching the students at the Imperial Gunnery School in Nuln reloading their single-shot handguns.[1a]
