The Puckle Gun was invented by Englishman James Puckle (1677-1724). This weapon was widely considered to be the first modern machine gun, able to rapidly fire numerous metal projectiles in relatively quick succession before requiring to be reloaded.

Le Chasseur, a spy operating for both the Assassins and for France, was able to steal a blueprint from a English Ship that detailed instructions on how to assemble the weapon. The weapon was then built and outfitted on Shay Cormac's ship the Morrigan, operating during the 7 years war.
