Machine Gun
The Chariot Machine Gun is a ballistic weapon and on of the War Machines featured in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, designed by Leonardo da Vinci for use by the Borgia forces. This 15th century machine gun is placed on a chariot so that one can shoot at any targets that come within range of the horse-drawn carriage. It is immensely powerful, slaying men and horses alike in a single shot.
In 1503, Leonardo was forced to create blueprints for a rapid fire gun, and subsequently tasked Ezio Auditore da Firenze with its destruction. After assassinating the Overseer entrusted with its location, Ezio traveled to Colli Albani where he managed to remain undetected and burn the blueprints for the Chariot before setting off barrels of gunpowder, destroying the main prototype. After witnessing another horse drawn prototype ride off in attempt to salvage the project, Ezio chased after the carriage on horseback, avoiding being gunned down by the the manned gun before hijacking the chariot and fended off numerous mounted Arquebusiers. After losing the pursuers Ezio ignited the gunpowder laden chariot with his Hidden Gun. The resulting explosion destroyed the machine gun, whilst Ezio rode to safety on the horses from the carriage.
