			The Puckle gun is briefly referred to in [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag\|Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag]], when [[Julien du Casse\|Julien Du Casse]] speaks about his desire for a future firearm that holds multiple bullets without a constant need for reloading. Rogers replies that a friend of his, James Puckle, is working on a weapon designed to do just that.
