The Gatling Gun is an American rapid-fire gun Invented by Dr. Richard Gatling in 1861, a predecessor to all modern machineguns. It features multiple barrels arranged around a central axis and operated by a hand-crank mechanism. This allowed for rapid and sustained fire, making it a formidable weapon on the battlefields of the American Civil War and beyond. The Gatling Gun's design represented a significant advancement in firepower, providing military forces with a means to deliver a high volume of fire at a time when single-shot rifles were the norm. In the 1870s a number of these weapons were purchased by the British Empire, used to great effect in the British Conquest of Africa, the Anglo-Zulu Wars and the Oceanykan Frontier Wars. These weapons were largely chambered in .45-70 Government.
