Re: Chainguns vs. Gatlings

Just for giggles, we can also throw into the arena the multi-chamber
single
barrel electric driven weapons...  (sans chain, I believe)

These have multiple (rotating) chambers, but a single barrel.  Very odd. 

Actually, the only application of these that I know of is in aircraft -
the
F5 was armed with two 20mm cannon of this type (as opposed to the much
more
typical 20mm gatling used in nearly all other recent US fighter
aircraft).
