    I got invited to shoot at a Gatling Gun shoot in PA on Sunday. It was a blast! We got to kill a car and lots of pumkins, there where at lest 15 Gatling and some other cool guns. I brought the 1862 Gating and the Coffee mill gun ( still working on the carriage ) They worked great. First they shot the car with a 12# Cannon right through the grill and through the engine block, lots pieces of pistons and engine parts left on the ground then we got to have fun with it. If you look close at the third pic the one of the valve cover there is no block left under it. there was a Hotchkiss 37 mm revolving cannon made in 1883 (Awesome) to right of me and two bull dogs to the left.

    Hey, that blockhouse looks familiar!

    Didn't I shoot in a skirmish there once? Can't remember the name.

    Very nice line-up of weeponry. I particularly like the big C clamp.

    It was totally awesome to see that many Gatling's togather and some of them original guns and carriages. I put some 400 rds in that car.

    The second pic up is of a Nordenfelt 3 barrel gun made in the 1880's, this one is a reproduction. It was the weirdist sounding gun, all 3 barrels fire at the same time when you push the arm forward. If you push it slow it fires like a 3 round burst. Cool
