Here's the deal:

1865 Gatling gun
Crank powered (working on it... dont worry...)
8 barrels (rotating)
WONT have a 100 round mag with working feeder (By someone who's name

EDIT: Box mag didn't work out... Sorry guys! Stick mags it is!
Stand (NOT the whole rolling on wheels thing!!)


I want to know:

Don't you mean Box magazines, not "Stick."

Yes, but the technical term for magazines of said design is "Box Magazine," due to its design (a 5 sided, hollow, rectangular prism holding rounds in either a single row or staggered column, to be fed into the chamber of the firearm.)

Wow I'm impressed. But what's wrong with a crank? I believe the first Gatling guns were with a crank?

Oh, you could probably use EB's full auto mech. Also, if you build and put an ible up, I'll build and try the wheels and a bigger mag. Oh, and what ammo?
