1874 Gatling Gun Blueprints KitĪlthough Dr. One thing I have noticed about Soviet ( and Russian ) automatic arms designers is a very distinct preference for gas-powered operation, and with the massive amount of experience and innovation they have in this area of gun operating systems, it comes as no surprise.

The Soviets, on the other hand, have taken this concept to a new level and perfected it with weapons such as the GSh-6-23 and GSh-6-30 rotary cannons for assorted applications ranging from ground-attack aircraft to naval CIWS. I believe General Electric, among others, have in recent years produced prototype gas-operated Gatlings in various calibers as lighter-weight, self-contained / self-powered alternatives to the standard electrically-driven guns, although they have not gained wider acceptance in the U.S.Īnd the West in general. Unless I’ve overlooked something, this looks like a patent for a modification to the basic Gatling to turn it into a gas-operated, self-loading fully-automatic gun. Nordenfeldts, Palmcranzes, Gardners, Raffye or other volley guns are not considered machine guns as well.Īnd keep them that way, because they’re the only machine gun look-alikes readily available to most gun enthusiasts, even where gun laws are in fact anti-gun laws (don’t they all?). It’s like a giant pepperbox revolver, only you have a crank to turn it, instead of a DAO trigger, and each barrel has it’s own lock. Gatling is ‘machine’ but not ‘automatic’ at all, each shot out of a Gatling is initiated separately, and it is hand-operated. It is not by some legal quirk, but Gatling technically really isn’t a machine gun, which is these days defined as an firearm capable of firing fully-automatically. If you are interested, please, and I can put you in touch with the seller. D&E has updated and redrawn the plans since my purchase and includes a pretty good set of build instructions. The RGG looks like a Gatling gun, but the D&E is a much more accurate model, much closer in scale than the RGG, but a bit more difficult to build. It only saw a few hundred rounds’ use, and has been thoroughly checked over by one of the original builders. As I mentioned at the end of the video, the fellow who owns this gun has a second one for sale at a pretty reasonable price (though keep in mind that new, one of these guns will set you back the equivalent of a pretty nice new car).

The Gatling gun's operation centered on a cyclic multi-barrel design which facilitated cooling and synchronized the firing-reloading sequence. The Gatling gun is a rapid-firing multiple-barrel firearm invented in 1861 by Richard Jordan Gatling.It is an early machine gun and a forerunner of the modern electric motor-driven rotary guns and rotary cannons. Each Anderson Gatling takes about 1,000 hours to make. That kind of “because it’s there” philosophy endured and today Anderson Guncraft not only does restorations on old guns but specializes in crafting fully functional full-size 10 barrel replica Gatlings based on the Models 1874, 1877, 1892, and 1895 in.30-40 Krag and.45-70. This is the first time ever that this Gatling Gun has come to auction. It was a featured display at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, at which Dr. Government campaigns against hostiles in the West. The Model 1876 Gatling Gun was built at a significant period of U.S. Colt claims it will do 800 rounds/minute, but we got it going a bit faster Thanks to an interesting quirk of US gun laws, the Gatling is not considered a machine gun – so anyone who can possess a bolt action rifle can own and shoot one of these.
