Silva 1/22/2018 • Their mere presence was enough to scare off most challengers. G atling gun. The name is nearly as recognizable to Old West aficionados as Colt, Winchester, Remington or Smith & Wesson, and it certainly triggers the imagination as much as any frontier gun. In reality, though, this revolving-barreled forerunner of the machine gun was seldom used in the West. The Gatling’s reputation for dealing death rapid-fire was so intimidating that the gun’s presence at a crucial showdown, either civilian or military, usually sent opponents scurrying without a shot being fired. Richard Jordan Gatling, born in Maneys Neck, N.C., on September 12, 1818, made a name for himself and a small fortune long before his groundbreaking gun came to his innovative mind. In 1839 he invented an award-winning, seed-sowing “wheat drill” that mechanized seed planting.
After almost dying from smallpox in 1846, Gatling decided to study medicine, and from that time on he was known as Dr. He tested the first Gatling gun prototype in 1861, after the Civil War broke out. As he explained in a June 15, 1877, letter to a friend, the lone man who fired the gun could replace 100 men with rifles, thereby greatly reducing the number of men who might otherwise be exposed to enemy fire on the battlefield.
The Gatling gun features a revolver-like grouping of gun barrels, a top-mounted magazine and a breech-mounted hand crank. A gunner rotates the crank to feed cartridges into the rear of the barrels.

The only limit to the rate of fire is how many cartridges are in the magazine and how fast a gunner can turn the crank. Early Gatling guns could spit out some 200 rounds per minute, though each magazine held just 20 rounds and had to be hastily replaced when empty.
The later donut-shaped Accles drum magazine held 104 rounds, while the Broadwell drum, which rotated horizontally atop the breech, held a cluster of twenty 20-round vertical magazines, for a 400-round capacity. Gatling designed his first models with exposed barrels, but when Colt began manufacturing the guns in 1867, many included cylindrical bronze casings to protect the barrels and mechanism from dust and weather. Gatling was perpetually redesigning the mechanism, the number of barrels ranging from 5 to 10. Over the years, Gatling guns ranged in size from half-ton versions on cannon carriages to the little five-barreled.45-70 Model 1877 Bulldog that weighed just 90 pounds but could fire an astounding 1,000 rounds per minute. As cartridges became more and more standardized, available Gatling-gun calibers ranged from.58 rimfire to.50-70 to 1-inch,.42,.45-70 Government,.30-40 Krag,.30-03 Springfield and.30-06 centerfire.
