Does this weapon qualify for it's own page? Is it direct fire? --Funkychinaman (talk) 03:36, 8 April 2014 (EDT)

While this gun was intended to fire mostly canister shots, it's hardly qualify as a direct fire weapon. Greg-Z (talk) 05:02, 8 April 2014 (EDT)
M1886 Hotchkiss light mountain rifle .

Yes! For for direct fire. The crew consists of two people. How on promo shot ... it´s light mountain rifle! --Pandolfini (talk) 09:51, 8 April 2014 (EDT)

It's not a rifle, it's a rifled cannon, as opposed to smoothbore one. Greg-Z (talk) 10:00, 8 April 2014 (EDT) You think this: "A smoothbore weapon is one which has a barrel without rifling".? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothbore
As to the question of whether or not it is direct fire, it's irrelevant how many crew members there are. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:00, 8 April 2014 (EDT)What is the direct firing? The gun shoots in the film directly against the barricade and into the crowd of attackers. It's not a long-range cannon with a ballistic trajectory.--Pandolfini (talk) 01:19, 9 April 2014 (EDT)
