Gatling guns have been the first firearms with a firing rate close to modern machine guns. Their principle is easy: A set of rotating barrels is turned by cranking a wheel, with one barrel after the other firing a round when it is in shooting position. This makes them technically and legally a repeating gun, not a full auto one - but it is close enough.

The Slingshot Channel took the challenge to design a rubber powered version of Mr. Gatling's great invention. And here it is: Eight 20 mm balls, on their way to the target in less than half a second. The theoretical firing rate is 960 rounds per minute, slightly faster than the popular M16 assault rifle.

The video also shows how you can fire single shots with the weapon.

  • the gun is good for if you need kill one target that is big, this would be one of the chances kill with in 8 shots that you need count of seconds.

  • @JoergSprave Holy shit, you just completely owned that retard.

  • So after watching your video about the kinetic-heat transfer of the rubber bands I can conclude that these rubber bands 'could' shoot much harder but since they stay loaded the entire time they lose power ?

  • SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
