I think it might be worthwhile to look at some of the writing on the Hornet around the time of its introduction (1930 according to what I've read). Surely they must have compared/contrasted it with the Vierling.
The Hornet was originated in Springfield Armory, using the M1922 Springfield as a vehicle. Consequently the first barrels had .22lr dimensions, i.e. .221" groove diameter. The cartridge cases used would have been .22 WCF cases. The bullets used were those intended for the French VeloDog revolver. I think any comparison would have been with the .22 WCF.
