James Puckle (1667–1724) was an English inventor, lawyer and writer from London chiefly remembered for his invention of the Defence Gun, better known as the Puckle gun, a multi-shot gun mounted on a stand capable of (depending on which version) firing up to nine rounds per minute.
In the 2009 PC game Empire: Total War, the Puckle Gun is available as a unit in the late 18th century.
