Ran across this in a SHOT blog: http://www.usarmamentcorp.com/index_gatling_gun.php
The part I find most interesting:
The gun transfers the same as a standard long gun.
It isn't a machine gun as technically YOU cycle it. hmmmmm....
MB needs to T&E one for Cowboys and SG, though, so we can live vicariously. ;D

Bugger me
$36,500.00

It would be tons of fun to shoot....all while your bank account sang "I'll Fly Away".......... ;D ;D
I've always wanted to build a replica (non-firing) and set it up in my yard....

-
For $36,500 I want more than a "Limited one year warranty".
-
why non fireing ;)
I want to leave it in the yard to scare the crap outta the neighbors.....and, if it can't fire, I won't be inclined to burn up my life-savings trying to feed it.
;D

1000 rpm of 45/70, what is that in $$$/second???

Man, I do like the way those Gatlings look. Absolutely gorgeous. At the gun club I belonged to in Wisconsin, we used to have a family fun day...one of the guys had a Gatling he brought out...I never knew it was worth $25-35K! yOWZA
I kinda think of my new Browning 1919 as a single barrel gatling...once I get the Crakfire on it. Now, unfortunately PegLeg has got me thinking of the $$/second it will run. Lessee...at $0.20 a round (reloads), 400 rounds a minute...that's $1.33. Well...not quite $25/sec but still...

;D

It's only reproductions that go for $35 - 45 Thousand. A gun store I used to go to had an ORIGINAL, on an artillery limber, dated 1903 in 30-40 Krag $350,000

I'm glad the Ten Commandments only says we can't covet another man's wife. :P 'cause I really want one of those
-
His wife is probably a B!tch, but that Gatling is COOL ! ;D
(And BOTH require expensive upkeep , but with the Gatling you get to keep control of the bathroom )

Some versions on the Ten Commandments do include:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors good.
So, better double check to be sure you are in the clear =)

I want to leave it in the yard to scare the crap outta the neighbors for when I tell the neighbor kids to get the hell off my lawn.....and, if it can't fire, I won't be inclined to burn up my life-savings trying to feed it.
;D
Fixed it for ya, Chuck!! ;D
-
Fixed it for ya, Chuck!! ;D
I do have a large yard....so it would be a good solution......
-
Not to poop the party, but for keeping kids off your lawn? With style and respect for tradition?
Gatling gun: $35k
Daisey Red Ryder BB Gun: $75
Discuss amongst yourselves. ;D

So KPR those 5000 rounds are about 12.5 minutes of fun at 400 rounds per minute?
Has anyone ever seen one of these in action? How did it work?

I expect BillT will be posting pictures of his Gatling Gun any minute now. ;D

Never saw it used but used to know a guy who had one, He said it was a jam o matic.
Probably because of being mounted on their sides.
