This video explores a 'what if' scenario where a modern 249 SAW machine gun is used to defend the Alamo. It highlights the immense firepower difference between 1836 muzzleloaders and the SAW, demonstrating how its rate of fire and belt-fed capability could theoretically repel a much larger attacking force. Live-fire tests confirm the SAW's lethality against simulated infantry.
This video features John Popp and Phil Schreier, Senior Curator at the National Firearms Museum, discussing the Nock Volley Gun. This flintlock shoulder arm was designed to fire multiple shots simultaneously, making it effective for repelling boarders. The video also touches on its appearance in the John Wayne movie "The Alamo".
