More Early Gatling gun

SIMPLE in layout, RELIABLE in action. Be sure to zoom into this costume mini gun picture.  Building your own is easy, just look at how simply constructed this thing is. Tab and slot layout, and few metal fasteners or screws. The design has evolved drastically:

One of my early minigun gatlings

I based this one on the gun in Predator, kinda. Too small, too little detail but it WORKED.  Non-firing, but the barrels spun at a good 900rpm with a fresh drill battery attached. I went on to build literally hundreds of these crazy costume Gatling gun. The barrels are 1/2" conduit, the body cut from 6mm thick ABS plastic from Interstate Plastics in Sacramento.
