The Driggs-Schroeder Mark IX 37mm cannon, developed in the late 19th century, was a competitor to Hotchkiss designs and used by the US Navy for torpedo boat defense. It features a unique rolling-block-like breech mechanism and a recoiling barrel assembly. Weighing only 79 lbs, this lighter version was classified as an antique under US law due to its 1897 manufacture date.

It highlights the cannon's semi-automatic breech, hydraulic recoil system, and free traverse mount, unusual for field guns. The video also covers its iron sights, loading mechanism, and specific markings, concluding with a live-fire demonstration.
