Yet another "What IFs..." for considerations were: 'Defense of Fort Independence', where they might have attempted utilizing some 'Multi-Guns-(Muskets/Rifles?)' contraption deployed as 'Main Gate/Entry-Port Defense'. I have a video recording for some RARE-(well, now-a-days) "The History Channel" T V show, hosted by David Carridine where that were being featured, with even a 'virtual visualization' of it getting 'used'/'fired'. Later on, his brother Keith would wind up 'Hosting' this same show.
