Gatling gun

The Gatling gun, also referred to as Gatling's battery gun, is a heavy gun

Characteristics
Patented in 1864, the Gatling gun is a rotary barrel machine gun, now in a handheld configuration and also rechambered to fire modern 5mm rounds. Its distinctive hand cranking system both rotates the gun's multiple barrels and fires off individually chambered shots.

The Gatling gun has a slower rate of fire than the minigun but to compensate for this, it deals more damage per shot, and is slightly more accurate than the latter. The Gatling gun's slow fire rate and accuracy can be improved with modifications.

Behind the scenes

 * According Connor McCampbell, the idea for the weapon came from Jonathan Rush.
 * The Gatling Gun is based on the real-world version from the 1860s, as designed by its namesake, Dr. Richard Gatling. The manufacturing plate in-game shows and shares the same form as the real-world versions plates. The only real difference is font, the in-game version uses Impact font which was created in 1965.
