The [[Vanishers]] used a rotary gun in one of their train car hijackings{{book ref|aol|17}}, surprising Marasi, though Wayne seemed to be somewhat familiar with them. This suggests that they are relatively uncommon, perhaps expensive or difficult to produce. Rotary guns are a type of fully-automatic firearm, however their design prohibits a handheld variant (a Pewterarm could conceivably wield one, actually). A rotary gun is really a series of barreled upper rifle assemblies arranged in a circle, which fire sequentially. This type of machine gun is a series of separate rifles that fire one shot individually, one after another, very quickly in sequence. This design is quite bulky, although it facilitates an incredible rate of fire, and is useful into the modern era. Typically they are mounted on ships, vehicles, planes, or at a fixed position. Speaking of fixed guns. . .

This is "the big one" in terms of having a really lasting Cosmere effect for the Scadrians: aluminum guns & bullets are a serious check against Allomantic Iron & Steel. This is doubly true once Scadrial fully industrializes and aluminum becomes not only common but cheap. I truly believe this may be the most important "Cosmere gun" contribution that Scadrial makes, given aluminum's seemingly Cosmere-wide immunity to magic. Aluminum bullets are immune to allomancy, and I suspect that they would also be immune to essentially any type of magical interference. For example, an [[Elantrian]] would probably not be able to magically shield themselves from an AlumBullet,. howeverIt shardplateis my assumption that an aluminum bullet would providebe somemore measureeffective against Shardplate than a bullet made out of physicallead, which is the common protectionmaterial.
