Gatling 22

[toomanymachines]

Is anyone aware of any gatling guns in private hands here in Canada?

A long time ago I was in montana and saw a true gatling gun.. It is much more impressive in person than any photo can do justice for.
Can someone import those modern scale 22 lr gatlings, Has anyone already done it?
It should be fine as it is not a automatic weapon.. I would consider it closer to a lever than anything else.
I know that you can purchase bluepriints to manufacture your own, but I would think that would be a major undertaking. And the tooling alone may cost you alot.

What does anyone know? Has anyone ever shot one?

Unfortunately, Tech Branch disagree. In my mind, the Gatling is nothing more than a large, heavy manually repeating rifle. However, the CFC and the RCMP put their beady little heads together on the issue, and decided that the gun is full auto.

The definition of an automatic rifle includes a reference to the firing of more than one shot during one application of pressure to the trigger. The CFC has ruled that in the absence of a seperate trigger, the hand crank on the Gatling serves as the trigger. Applying continuous pressure on the crank produces more than one discharge.
