    This seems like an OP addition, but gatling guns sound awesome. They were a thing in the old west, but they were stationary on the ground. This one should be handheld. Plus, I believe this should be illegal

    Maybe a tier of automatic weapons could be added.

    And this is the automatic gun I was just talking about. Not sure how a gatling gun can be handheld because the way it shoots was via handle not trigger.

    Usually requiring one person to wire it and the other to aim it

    I guess making it like the minigun in War could work but the fire rate would have to be lowered

    Gatling gun: Essentially minigun out of War, except cannot be fired without ADS/Zoom (Whatever its called these days) and it's cost. . .sound good?

    Serine, I posted a thread with a tier of automatic weapons, for bandits AND sheriffs.

    The minigun in War assuming it's based off the M134 has a fire rate of 2,000 - 6,000 rpm but the gatling gun has a fire rate of 350 rpm. (That's almost twice as slow as the AK-47 [600 rpm]).
    The gatling had some sort of iron sights I believe, who ever is a gun expert please correct me :V I'm puking random facts that could be false.

    Gun expert? Im game fam.

    The gatling gun DOES have a set of iron sights, and the original gatling gun was designed to be run by a MINIMUM of two operators, one loader and another shooter. Seeing as it was powered by how fast the human could turn the handle, versus the hydraulic OR motorized spinning system used to spin the barrels of the "minigun" (now that I think about it, theres nothing "mini" to it.) the gatling gun would fire a LOT slower. Now, we COULD find a way to balance this, or, we could keep that same ROF from the MC-War mini, but add an "overheat" feature to the gatling gun. If a gun fires too many rounds too fast, the barrel will actually melt, unless it has a cooling system, in which case it can fire for much longer. Seeing as this is the wild west, the water cooling system was not invented at the time.

    (P.S: Don't try me at gun stuff, my name has glock in it for a reason :wink: )

    EDIT: The iron sights of the gatling gun were hardly used during fire unless there was a third person operating the aiming system, but commonly the gatling gun was aimed towards its target with the sights then rounds were pumped out until the target didn't exist anymore.
