Thanks to a friendly collector, we had the chance to take out one of the new, gorgeous reproduction 1877 Gatling guns being sold by Colt. It's a near-exact replica, with the added feature of being able to crank backwards to safely clear any loaded cartridges out of the action. Being a Bulldog model, it has 5 short barrels (18.25') chambered for.45-70, enclosed in a full brass jacket to keep the action clean.
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. The crank handle is considered a trigger, and each partial turn fires a single round. Wallap software crack sites for pc. Since a single discrete motion doesn't fire multiple rounds, it's not subject to the registration and transfer tax of a machine gun under the NFA.
Colt 1874 Camel Gatling gun in.45-70 caliber. Original Gatling gun mounted on a later tripod. These guns only have 18” barrels and are a lot more manageable than most other Gatling’s. Many of these were sold to foreign countries and there were mounts made to fire off a camel hence the nickname. Brass has a nice smooth mustard patina. The barrels are sleeved and do have some pitting on the outside. Very nice attractive gun that has been built to shoot.
This gun is very manageable and could fit in almost any room. The tripod and gun take up 40” wide and 48” long and 66” high.
