The description of fatal row ignition makes a claim without presenting a shred of evidence. As for a chamber always being aimed at the shooter, the Cochran turret revolver and rifle did not have this issue. 174.196.203.188 (talk) 22:18, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Emphasis on chain fire hazard

edit

This article places an odd amount of emphasis on chain fire and goes as far as saying turret weapons were prone to them, and that chain fire was explicitly the reason they didn't take off.

There's no evidence provided for this, and the final statement completely neglects the wide variety of manufacturing, logistical, and ease of use problems turret firearms present. The article as a whole places way too much emphasis on the most visibly novel element of turret guns rather than providing any real information. 73.182.96.86 (talk) 01:05, 11 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
