Hello all. I’ve been doing some reading into the Vega Machine Cannon, and well, there isn’t a lot. But I figured I’d at least post what I have and potentially get some discussion going on it. It seems like a very unique weapon for the time and I am curious if anyone else has any more information on it. I’ve seen most of the stuff on the ammunition itself but it is really the unique internals that have me curious.

Here are the two patents I could find that are likely of the weapon.

I‘ve also attached some images from the Machine Gun Vol. IV by George M. Chinn which show the locking mechanism and an image from the book History of US Military Small Arms Ammunition Vol. II
