Gehendra Shamsher got 6 lakh rupees from his father, the then Sri 3 Maharaj & Prime Minister Bir Shamsher JB Rana, and used the money to make an automatic machine gun. That was in the year 1898/99 AD. Although machine guns had been around for many years, that was the first one built in Nepal. For this reason, he is considered to be the first scientist of Nepal.
Gehendra Shamsher was also the first person to bring a motor car into Nepal. it was a Ford. He presented this car to the young King Prithvi Bir Bikran Shah.
His machine gun is currently in the possession of a private gun collector in the USA.
Thank you...
