Gatling guns, aka chainguns, vulcan guns, and miniguns ("If ''that'''s a minigun, I wonder what a ''maxi''gun is!") are often featured in video games (DOOM, Serious Sam, Gunman chronicles, etc., etc.). They use multiple barrels combined with a single loading and firing mechanism, which allows every barrel to cool down between two of the barrel's firing cycles. The firing rate is roughly that of a single barrel times the number of barrels, the limiting factor being the cooling rate. | |||
