The Camel and Heavy Weapons.

I HAVE SEEN THE GATLING GUNS FOR MOUNTING ON CAMELS OR BEING TRANSPORTED BY THEM. I AM NOT SURE OF THE CALIBER BUT THEY WERE NOT AS LARGE AS THE ONES MOUNTED ON WHEELS. I HAVE A PICTURE OF A CAMEL WITH ONE MOUNTED ON ITS BACK BUT DIDN'T FIND IT. HERE IS A MORE STANDARD TOUAREG WITH CAMEL, SADDLE, SPEAR AND PERHAPS A LARGE SHIELD.

there was a small 1893 'police' model gatling in .45-70

rate of fire was 'only' 800 rounds per minute.

if i recall, the crank operated gatling is legal without a machine gun licence from atf as it a manually loaded, cocked, and fired weapon. i recall seeing one in .22lr which is about the only way to afford the ammo, and even that ain't cheap or easy to find in bulk nowadays.
