Bira Gun was Invented by General Sri Sri Sri Maharajah Gehendra Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana (1871-1905) the Bira Double Barreled Quick Fire Rifle was a copy of the American Gardner Gun. In Martini-Henry .577/450 caliber fed from a double stacked 120rnd pan magazine (like a Lewis Gun) the weapon was fired by a crank handle not unlike the American Gatling Gun. Interestingly, however, it required cranking backwards (counter-clockwise) which the Nepalis consideredmore efficient; to "pull" than to "push"

These remarkable weapons were developed in Nepal in 1896 and 1897 just after Great Britain opened the flood gates with gifts of "modern" military hardware in 1894.
