If I missed the topic on this subject then please let me know and I will merge this bit with the OP. 

Link to a YouTube video from General Electric on the 30mm Gatling Gun system that resulted in the Goal Keeper CIWS system.

Dr. Gatlings Infernal Device.

Early electrified variants.

The November 15, 1890 issue of Scientific American contained an article on the Crocker-Wheeler Co.'s
development for the US Navy. Article and illustration scanned from The Gatling Gun, Paul Wahl and Don
Toppel (1965), ARCO Publishing edition 1978.


Dr. Gatling's Patent #502,185 for an integral electric drive version:

Camel Gatling.

A popular illustration from the late-19th century, however there is no evidence that the gun was ever used in such a fashion.    :-\
Rather Camel Gun was the name attached to the short-barreled Model 1874 for marketing purposes.

Pity the poor camel if they had actually used it in that fashion.  :smiley:

I watched the movie Jonah Hex last week, it had the 'mother-of-all-gatling-guns'.  The cannon balls were as big as basket balls.   ;D ;D ;D

Speaking of big gatlings, I would love to see a model or conversion for the T249 Vigilante:

Take that new AFV Club M108 or the old Italeri M108 kit and give it a Gatling Gun make over?

That was basically what I did with the M111 Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=4777.msg77689#msg77689):

For all of you Gatling Gun fans.  A short video with the Dillon Aero M134D Mini-Gun mounted on a pickup truck at the range tearing up an anatomically correct ballistic dummy:
