The Belton Repeating Flintlock, developed by Joseph Belton and manufactured with William Jover, was a groundbreaking firearm in the late 18th century. It evolved from a 'Roman Candle' principle to a semi-automatic system capable of firing 21 rounds per minute using magazine tubes and a port fire fuse. Despite its advanced design, high cost and lack of documented field use limited its adoption, with only 560 units sold to the British East India Company.
