Gatling Pistol

Notes

The Gatling Pistol fires only on automatic. A wind-up gear releases a three-round burst every time the trigger is pulled.

Reloading takes two actions — one to change the magazine and the other to wind up the clockwork.

Designer's Notes: Some liberties were taken with the design — a box magazine was used, rather than a cassette, and the burst was set at 3 in keeping with the original design.
