A '''volley gun''' is a [[firearms|gun]] with multiple barrels which fire either sequentially or simultaneously. If the latter, the weapon is commonly referred to as a '''duck foot''', alternatively spelled '''duckfoot'''. Because {{wiki|flintlock}} [[pistol]]s are incapable of loading and firing more than one shot at a time, before the advent of more sophisticated firearm technology, a solution to facilitate a greater firepower was to simply incorporate more barrels onto a handgun.


==Description==
Rabiah works as a healer to the villagers, treating them for the abuses suffered by Ptolemy's oppressive agents. Some of her medicines have been prevented from entering Siwa. Bayek must help recover them.
Defined by the presence of more than one barrel on a firearm, volley guns can be classified into two types: those that fire their barrels those that fire their barrels sequentially and those that fire them simultaneously. Historically, volley guns of the size of handguns were developed in response to the limitation of early pistols from loading and firing more than one shot at a time. The simple solution was to incorporate additional barrels into the design of a pistol. Thus, the double-barrel pistol and the so-called duck foot were invented, representing the two aforementioned types of volley guns respectively.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref><ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>


Although the two designs addressed a common issue, the former did so by facilitating a higher rate-of-fire while the latter focused on sheer firepower. A double-barrel pistol—which soon after gave rise to similar pistols with increasing number of barrels—fires each of its barrels individually, allowing one to unleash more than one shot before having to reload, thus increasing rate-of-fire. In contrast, a duck foot, with its typically three to five barrels spread out in the shape of a duck's foot, fires off all barrels simultaneously in a fashion similar to that of later shotguns. This had the effect of magnifying firepower without improving on its rate-of-fire as the wielder would still have to reload after firing only once.<ref name="AC3" /><ref name="ACU" />

Legendary Trinket
In the 18th century, the age of flintlock pistols, volley guns were commonly sold in markets as the only options for handguns that were not limited to one shot.<ref name="AC3" /><ref name="ACU" /> The advent of pistols that could chamber multiple bullets at once and eventually operate semi-automatically rendered volley handguns largely obsolete in the next century. A notable exception was the [[Lancaster 4-Barrels]] dating to the latter half of the 19th century. However, the older design of relying on multiple barrels rather than a chamber for multiple bullets limited its rate-of-fire in comparison to contemporary pistols.<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>
