I was just wondering. There is a lot of craze these days bypassing full auto gun laws by making little devices to that feel like full auto The slide fire solutions stock, little miniature gatling gun triggers, and even rubberbands. I have seen some really intricate bump fire contraptions in Shotgun news to.
It is common knowledge that Gatling guns are not considered full auto. Why doesn't someone capitalize on this concept and design a modern gatling gun designed from the ground up to have a crank action? Does Dr. Gattling's family still have some kind of rights to the design or something?
And if anyone doubts a Gattling gun's effectiveness versus a 'true machine gun' just read a little about Dr. Gattling's original design and its military trials. It has been a long time since I read about it but I faintly recall it could accurately fire and sustain high rates of fire at 1000 yards. Using what calbur I don't remember. It was a book about the AK47 called 'The Gun'. The first third of the book talks solely about the development of the Gattling Gun and the Maxim and how it was slowly adopted into modern warfare. Very intresting stuff. The Gattling gun was a truly amazing gun and I couldn't believe the things the book said it did.
