title="Multiple-barrel firearm">multiple-barrel firearm</a> invented in 1861 by <a href="/wiki/Richard_Jordan_Gatling" title="Richard Jordan Gatling">Richard Jordan Gatling</a>.

As the handwheel is cranked, the barrels rotate, and each barrel sequentially loads a single <a href="/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms)" title="Cartridge (firearms)">cartridge</a> from a top-mounted <a href="/wiki/Magazine_(firearms)" title="Magazine (firearms)">magazine</a>, fires off the shot when it reaches a set position (usually at <a href="/wiki/Clock_position" title="Clock position">4 o'clock</a>), then ejects the spent casing out of the left side at the bottom, after which the barrel is empty and allowed to cool until rotated back to the top position and gravity-fed another new round. This configuration eliminated the need for a single <a href="/wiki/Reciprocating_motion" title="Reciprocating motion">reciprocating</a> <a href="/wiki/Bolt_(firearms)" title="Bolt (firearms)">bolt</a> design and allowed higher rates of fire to be achieved without the barrels overheating quickly. </p><p>One of the best-known early rapid-fire <a href="/wiki/Firearm" title="Firearm">firearms</a>, the Gatling gun saw occasional use by the <a href="/wiki/Union_(American_Civil_War)" title="Union (American Civil War)">U.S.</a> <a href="/wiki/Union_Army" class="mw-redirect" title="Union Army">forces</a> during the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>, which was the first time it was employed in combat. It was later used in numerous military conflicts, including the <a href="/wiki/Boshin_War" title="Boshin War">Boshin War</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Zulu_War" title="Anglo-Zulu War">Anglo-Zulu War</a>, and the assault on <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_San_Juan_Hill" title="Battle of San Juan Hill">San Juan Hill</a> during the <a href="/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War" title="Spanish–American War">Spanish–American War</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-enc-sjh_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-enc-sjh-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was also used by the Pennsylvania militia in episodes of the <a href="/wiki/Great_Railroad_Strike" class="mw-redirect" title="Great Railroad Strike">Great Railroad Strike</a> of 1877, specifically in <a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh" title="Pittsburgh">Pittsburgh</a>.

Each barrel fires once per revolution at about the same position. The barrels, a carrier, and a lock cylinder were separate and all mounted on a solid plate revolving around a central shaft, mounted on an oblong fixed frame. Turning the crank rotated the shaft. The carrier was grooved and the lock cylinder was drilled with holes corresponding to the barrels. </p><p>The casing was partitioned, and through this opening, the barrel shaft was <a href="/wiki/Journal_(mechanical_device)" class="mw-redirect" title="Journal (mechanical device)">journaled</a>. In front of the casing was a <a href="/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)" title="Cam (mechanism)">cam</a> with spiral surfaces. The cam imparted a reciprocating motion to the locks when the gun rotated. Also in the casing was a cocking ring with projections to cock and fire the gun. Each barrel had a single lock, working in the lock cylinder on a line with the barrel. The lock cylinder was encased and joined to the frame. Early models had a fibrous matting stuffed in among the barrels, which could be soaked with water to cool the barrels down. Later models eliminated the matting jacketing as being unnecessary. </p><p>Cartridges, held in a hopper, dropped individually into the grooves of the carrier. The lock was simultaneously forced by the cam to move forward and load the cartridge, and when the cam was at its highest point, the cocking ring freed the lock and fired the cartridge. After the cartridge was fired the continuing action of the cam drew back the lock bringing with it the spent casing which then dropped to the ground. </p><p>The grouped barrel concept had been explored by inventors since the 18th century, but poor engineering and the lack of a <a href="/wiki/Cartridge_(weaponry)" class="mw-redirect" title="Cartridge (weaponry)">unitary cartridge</a> made previous designs unsuccessful. The initial Gatling gun design used self-contained, reloadable steel cylinders with a chamber holding a ball and black-powder charge, and a <a href="/wiki/Percussion_cap" title="Percussion cap">percussion cap</a> on one end. As the barrels rotated, these steel cylinders dropped into place, were fired, and were then ejected from the gun. The innovative features of the Gatling gun were its independent firing mechanism for each barrel and the simultaneous action of the locks, barrels, carrier, and <a href="/wiki/Breech-loading_weapon" class="mw-redirect" title="Breech-loading weapon">breech</a>. </p><p>The ammunition that Gatling eventually implemented was a <a href="/wiki/Paper_cartridge" title="Paper cartridge">paper cartridge</a> charged with black powder and primed with a percussion cap because self-contained brass cartridges were not yet fully developed and available. The shells were gravity-fed into the breech through a hopper or simple box "magazine" with an unsprung gravity follower on top of the gun. Each barrel had its own firing mechanism. </p><p>Despite self-contained brass cartridges replacing the paper cartridge in the 1860s, it wasn't until the Model 1881 that Gatling switched to the 'Bruce'-style feed system (U.S. Patents 247,158 and 343,532) that accepted two rows of <a href="/wiki/.45-70" title=".45-70">.45-70</a> cartridges. While one row was being fed into the gun, the other could be reloaded, thus allowing sustained fire. The final gun required four operators. By 1886, the gun was capable of firing more than 400 rounds per minute. </p><p>The smallest-caliber gun also had a Broadwell drum feed in place of the curved box of the other guns. The drum, named after <a href="/w/index.php?title=Lewis_Wells_Broadwell&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Lewis Wells Broadwell (page does not exist)">L. W. Broadwell</a>, an agent for Gatling's company, comprised twenty stacks of rounds arranged around a central axis, like the spokes of a wheel, each holding twenty cartridges with the bullet noses oriented toward the central axis. This invention was patented in U. S. 110,338. As each stack emptied, the drum was manually rotated to bring a new stack into use until all 400 rounds had been fired. A more common variant had 240 rounds in twenty stands of fifteen. </p><p>By 1893, the Gatling was adapted to take the new <a href="/wiki/.30-40_Krag" title=".30-40 Krag">.30 Army</a> smokeless cartridge. The new M1893 guns featured six barrels, later increased to ten barrels, and were capable of a maximum (initial) rate of fire of 800–900 rounds per minute, though 600 rpm was recommended for continuous fire.<sup id="cite_ref-Parker,_John_H._2006_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Parker,_John_H._2006-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Dr. Gatling later used examples of the M1893 powered by electric motor and belt to drive the crank.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Tests demonstrated the electric Gatling could fire bursts of up to 1,500 rpm. </p><p>The M1893, with minor revisions, became the M1895, and 94 guns were produced for the U.S. Army by Colt. Four M1895 Gatlings under Lt. <a href="/wiki/John_Henry_Parker_(general)" title="John Henry Parker (general)">John H. Parker</a> saw considerable combat during the Santiago campaign in Cuba in 1898. The M1895 was designed to accept only the Bruce feeder.

The U.S. Army purchased several M1900s. All Gatling Models 1895–1903 could be mounted on an armored field carriage. In 1903, the Army converted its M1900 guns into .30 Army to fit the new <a href="/wiki/.30-03" class="mw-redirect" title=".30-03">.30-03</a> cartridge (standardized for the M1903 Springfield rifle) as the M1903. The later M1903-'06 was an M1903 converted to <a href="/wiki/.30-06_Springfield" title=".30-06 Springfield">.30-06</a>.

This negated much of the advantage of their high rate of fire per discharge, making them much less powerful on the battlefield. In comparison, the Gatling gun offered a rapid and continuous rate of fire without having to be manually reloaded by opening the breech. </p><p>Early multi-barrel guns were approximately the size and weight of <a href="/wiki/Artillery" title="Artillery">artillery</a> pieces and were often perceived as a replacement for cannons firing <a href="/wiki/Grapeshot" title="Grapeshot">grapeshot</a> or canister shot.<sup id="cite_ref-proceedings_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-proceedings-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Compared with earlier weapons such as the <i>mitrailleuse,</i> which required manual reloading, the Gatling gun was more reliable and easier to operate and had a lower, but continuous rate of fire.
