And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Hope he has a very large ammo box. My son designed a fix for the 7.62 minigun so the cyclic rate could be slowed, but kept the higher rate available through a switch, while he was still with ATK at the Lake City Army Ammo plant.

I'm pretty sure that any/all of the motorized Gatling guns had two speeds available, although maybe not to the gunner. Powering it with an electric motor may have been the last design change offered to the various military buyers by Dr Gatling. Imagine the changes that might have occurred to WW1, since this was around 1910!
Might have been GE that first actually made this happen, and it was first done on an original hand cranked version. It worked just fine! Late 50's, IIRC.

ReplyDeleteThe ones I used had that capability.
