Building a Gatling gun.

[jarhead jim]

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed it. Maybe sometime this month we'll have the entire gun up and running with it's bipod underneath.

Great job JJ !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TrippHammer]

JJ,
When the Gatling fires does it fire at the top of the stroke or bottom?
I thought on the bottom since it would then eject down, but the wooden
block you have holding the gun up would have been chewed in half.

(the block is in front of the gun)

CHRIST, why have I not seen this thread until now? I am once again in awe of your skills and talents. Beautiful work. Keep it up.

Tripp, check out vid on post #362. You'll see it fires at about 3:00. Just under the right hand side gull wing. It ejects at 6:00 and feeds at 11:00.

And I start drinking at 5:00.

We can tell by the Busch light cans under the gun. :dunno

Little Bro,

I like your edit to vid #4. :thumbs_up


I did notice something a little peculiar in that vid. There were only two Bush beer cans under the gun and no cooler in sight. :beer


Damn I love this project. Grab Little Bro and drive down the road. Come to a stop sign, "Hey this looks like a good place to try out the new toy!" "Hey! watch my beer!"


Too much fun!

Ok I see it now. :allright

Question?
How's the barrel extensions working out?

Hey I saw a round magazine that looked like a doughnut on an 1874
Colt. It was brass plated sheetmetal or copper but it looked bad ass.

Sure would look cool on your Beast!

 

[jarhead jim]

The barrel extensions worked great! I haven't shot a group with it yet but I think they are all in a 2' area at 50 yards or so. The mag you saw was called an Accles drum. Not quite sure how they worked though.

Ed, please don't give bro any bad ideas.....He has enough on his own. LOL!

Jim

 

[Little Bro]

Ed-

Thanks for the pat on the back. I'm working on another Vid to publish on YouTube but I'm having trouble finding it.... And you're right, just two beers and no obvious cooler in sight is a little creepy! lol

Now...for all you fathers looking for something for your youngins to get you for Daddy's Day......... Look no further! The perfect edition to anyones arsonal!

DeWalt Nail Gun!

 

[TrippHammer]

Do we see an auto sear hole in that receiver?

Wow, nice work to a $10K plus weapon .... lol

A whole new meaning to the term "fires out of battery".:jester

I couldn't find any description of an internal mechanism. Could just be a compact gravity-fed hopper type magazine.

[TrippHammer]

hey looks like a golden condom

 

[WhisperFan]

Add some 'cross-hairs' and it will look like a really big (and thick) anti-aircraft sight

 

[StooperZero]

Accles drum

OK.

It's sorta a drum.

Inside sometimes 3-5 Curved mags.

You'd shoot and when Empty you'd have to cycle all 6-10 barrels again and then the next mag starts feeding.


I have a blown up diagram of one around here... even more complicated than the actual gun.

 

[Little Bro]

failure

Ok...I concede defeat! I thought I knew of surviving footage of JJ's 12 ga. Gat-gun.... Appearantly, I was wrong. After over six hours of rummaging throught tapes, I failed to come up with some footage. I'm sure some video evidence still exists, but I'll have to dig deeper in the wells of documentation to find it. Wish me luck....

[jarhead jim]

A bunch of people filmed it at the Duke Allexis Rendesvoue. Don't know who though.

[BeltFedEd]

Little Bro,

It would be a little quicker if you didn't look through all of JJ's boxes of VHS porno tapes first. :roflmao

[jarhead jim]

Hell, he couldn't get through a fraction of my porn tapes in 6 hours.
