A '''Gatling Gun''' is a fixed weapon that discharges rounds in rapid succession. It occupies a 4x1x1 space. In [[Creative Mode]] it has infinite ammo, but in [[Survival Mode|Survival]] it must be loaded with [[25x184mm_NATO_Ammo_Container|25x184mm Ammo Containers]] via the one of the two access points on the sides. It can hold 4 full ammo containers, which is enough for approximately 10-12 seconds of continuous firing.

== Usage ==

The Gatling gun was a mid-19th-early-20th century rapid-fire weapon, forerunner to the modern [[Wikipedia:Machine gun|machine gun]]. It consisted of a crank, which rotating six barrels around a central shaft; each barrel firing once every revolution in roughly the same position. After it was replaced in service by recoil- or gas-operated weapons, the concept fell out of use for many decades. The basic design resurfaced, however, after World War II, with the development of the [[Wikipedia:M61 Vulcan|M61 Vulcan]], a pneumatically- or hydraulically-driven, six-barreled, air-cooled, electrically-fired 20mm Gatling-type weapon.

Tips

  • The gatling gun has some kick to it. If you place a large amount of them on your ship, you will be propelled back by the recoil.
  • By themselves, gatling guns aren't very threatening. If you fire a lot of them in a massive burst however, they can shred everything but heavy armor within a few seconds.

Known Issues

  • Mass amounts of gatling guns can cause a lot of lag, so be careful how many you place!
  • Caution: on dedicated servers do NOT fire this gun while moving forward. The bullets will spawn behind the gun and damage any components in the way. It's best to extend these guns on pylons away from you ship to avoid shooting yourself.
