It&#8217;s a near-exact replica, with the added feature of being able to crank backwards to safely clear any loaded cartridges out of the action. Being a Bulldog model, it has 5 short barrels (18.25&#8243;) chambered for .45-70, enclosed in a full brass jacket to keep the action clean. Colt claims it will do 800 rounds\/minute, but we got it going a bit faster&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to an interesting quirk of US gun laws, the Gatling is not considered a machine gun &#8211; so anyone who can possess a bolt action rifle can own and shoot one of these. The crank handle is considered a trigger, and each partial turn fires a single round. Since a single discrete motion doesn&#8217;t fire multiple rounds, it&#8217;s not subject to the registration and transfer tax of a machine gun under the NFA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to a friendly collector, we had the chance to take out one of the new, gorgeous reproduction 1877 Gatling guns being sold by Colt.
