Machine guns

[edit]

About 2000 years ago, a Heron of Alexandria invented a machine gun that fired arrors. Can you add it and his other inventions. 66.62.75.132 (talk) 18:33, 7 August 2021 (UTC)reply

The invention is ascribed here to one Dionysius of Alexandria. I did not see a reliable source one way or another.  --Lambiam 18:59, 7 August 2021 (UTC)reply
