The Manville Gas Gun is a 25mm gas grenade discharger designed for riot control and prison use, often mistaken for a machine gun. It features an 18-round spring-loaded cylinder and a simple striker mechanism. Reloading requires disassembly and manual loading of cartridges, with the internal spring wound like a watch. The gun was intended to be fired from the hip.
