A light weapon for the gunowner who has everything

If you have a pair of 10/22 barrels and some 80 round mags laying around, you too could burn up about $200 of .22LR in about an hour.

It looks like an antiultralightaircraft weapon to me!

I've seen a couple of those around at shows...the coolest one was done with M1 carbines. But when I get the money to set one up, it'll be with AKs and drums.

Hehe, they also have a four-gun rig IIRC.

Idea: use Ruger's new 99/44 Deerfield carbines instead of the 10/22s -> .44 Magnum Gatling gun!!!

Might make an interesting diversion, but if I were looking for excuses to buy something really "different", I'd probably drop a wad and buy one of the old gyrojet guns that were kicking around in the late 60's.

Then I could be just like Buck Rogers and have my own Rocket Gun.

The were popular a couple of years ago at various gunshows.

Except for dry firing, I'll bet you won't practice with it very much . . .

Yeah, but what do you feed it from?

How about 4 Tromix AR rifles, if you're interested in a .44 gatling.

Wait.....how about a Gatling if you want a .4x gatling? They were .45-70, right?

What is the legality of a Gatling gun?

Are they considered automatics?

Manually cranked weapons aren't classified as autos because it still requires an individual trigger actuation per shot.
