Lucky guy, i would love to play with one of those Gatling guns.
Craig... "wink" should we tell him??
Actually Fan, build one of your own, it can be done & still be Canadian gun laws legal.....
A bastardized version of a rotary operated mechanism can be made ( you can't call it a "Gatling" because it gives "them" an avenue to call it a "variant" which it isn't).
Two things in Canadian firearms law that govern the Gatling. They are , the crank operation of the firing mechanism that can regulate firing rate & the "cannot fire more than one cartridge with one pull of the trigger". On a true Gatling both are relevant, the crank does complete the firing sequence and it doesn't have a "trigger" to interrupt the continuous loading & firing of the crank.
If you or someone like you were to design and prototype a rotary mechanism that will not allow the machine to fire, the crank can't influence the rate of fire in itself. The second thing to do is incorporate a trigger mechanism to interrupt the firing sequence after every round is fired and has to be re-set mechanically or manually after each pull and pulled again after each shot.
Some more info for the interested; Back in the 70's , the Govmt of the time deemed the Gatling in the "Machine gun" category, which it wasn't and still isn't. The NFA sued the govt to have this rescinded, it went all the way to the Supreme Court and the NFA won...they deemed the Gatling a manually operated multi barrel rotary action...sort of in the same classification as a double barrel shotgun & a single action revolver. In actuality, every single action revolver in Canada ( and there are tens of thousands of them) has a bell crank commonly called a "hammer" and a geared mechanism that rotates the cylinder same as a Gatling....and that court ruling has never been reversed, however when Cretin and his cronys passed C69 legislation in 98' and the ensuing bureaucratic regulations that followed , The Gatling was an erroneously named item in the "prohibited class" and unfortunately has never been challenged since....or we could all enjoy Chicken's experience right at home.
We see whose the first to notice what’s different
