Sounds Like: FOR THOSE WHO KEEP ON ASKING: The Gatling-Gun is a gun with multiple firing pins and breeches connected to multiple rotating barrels. Each barrel fires a single shot as it reaches a certain point in the cycle after which it ejects the spent cartridge, loads a new round, and in the process, cools down somewhat. This configuration allows higher rates of fire without the problem of an overheating single barrel, though accuracy suffers. The gun was designed by the American inventor Dr. Richard J. Gatling, in 1861 and patented in 1862. The Gatling-Gun may have been the first "machine gun" (depending on how 'machine gun' is defined) as it was capable of firing continuously. The first Gatling-Gun relied on a hand crank for external power. Some time later, Gatling-type weapons diverted a fraction of gas from the chamber to spin the rotating barrels. Later still, electric motors supplied external power. The original Gatling-Gun was a black powder field weapon, which used multiple rotating barrels turned by a hand crank, and firing loose (no links or belt) metal cartridge ammunition using a gravity feed system from a hopper. (...) Unlike earlier weapons such as the mitrailleuse which had limited capacity and long reloading times, the Gatling-Gun was more reliable, easy to load, and had a high firing rate.
