    Nice video ! 8)

    About why the call it a Gatling-gun: Well as far as I've been told they only call it that because of its rotating barrell.

    Those new guns use similar principle as original Gatling gun, meaning multiple rotating barrels etc.
    Besides, doesn't GAU stand for Gatling Arms Unit ? :lol:

    I am told that this multi-barreled gun is still called the Gattling gun because it's basically the same gun with a different revolving mechanism (and chain fed of course). Hard to believe.

    Not the same gun, the same design, all gatling guns are based on the basic (first) design.

    They don't, as it says at the bottom: Only military, law enforcement and other dealers.

    Actually it explicitly says on the site that these guns "cannot be sold to the civilian market".

    It are not shooting toys, i've been told when you load it with metal BB's its as powerfull as a .22.

    See link below 8)

    You can read anything about the replica here, also soe movies, one 1 of them you see how they destroy a television with metal bb's, don't wanna know what happens if you shoot somebody on the head from that range...
