That would come in handy for the giant size cockroaches we get here in the summer.

There is one of these in a military museum up in Wolfeboro, NH that I thought was worth a drive to check out.
I think it was developed as an AA weapon, but the troops found that racing it up and down streets with the guns blazing to one side and then the other was a great way to get defenders in fortified German towns to put their hands up towards the end of WWII.
The US military uses a wide variety of Gatlings in 7.62mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 30mm, too.

I should get one of these for my home in case there are more riots in Baltimore.

Every home should have one.

I guess reloading would cut down on ammo costs!

I'm told by an old warrior that the sound of a bunch of quad .50s cranking their engines to get turret power was a real "attention getter". Toward the end of the "Vietnam experience" Huey door gunners were getting GE Gatlings in 7.62. Some airframe beefing required.

That's a puny 62 caliber ball in the barrel... ( During the build process)

Any videos of firing it? Does it blow up a pallet size water tote like a water jug?

No it takes trees down rather nicely though.
