Re: Gatling Gun Question
As far as I know only one fires before a new shot is loaded, barrels turn and fire again. In the case of the shown Gatling it would be top middle barrel firing.

Hi again von thoma. Here's a link to an animation of the gun in use. Hope it helps in understanding how the gatling worked and still works today.
