ANSWER: machine gun

EXPLANATION: Machine Guns were developed in the mid 19th century. Its key characteristics were relatively high rate of firing and mechanical loading. It first appeared in the Model 1862 Gatling gun, which was adopted by the United States Navy. The weapon was still powered by hands which later changed and made Dr. Gatling to experiment with electric-motor-powered models.
