Modern Gatling Gun

[johnwilliamson062]

Does anyone make a modern Gatling gun? Chambered in 223, 308, 7.62X54R or something readily available and cheap? Belt fed maybe?
Like a GE minigun, but fired by a hand crank or similar?
Looking at Class III and realized a Gatling would be more fun, less restrictions, and wouldn't cost any more.
Not looking for a reproduction. All modern materials and design.
22lr might be good, but more interested in a centerfire rifle cartridge.

Not that I have the money laying around, but...

Colt just made 50 news ones for $50K each.

There are 22 versions around

That doesn't answer the question though. The maverns of Son of Guns TV show made some Saiga shotgun monstrosity that was very Rube Goldberg.

It's funny that you ask for cheap ammo as the gun will cost a pretty penny.

I once saw a brass 22S gun which was adorable.

I imagine this will cost somewhere in the 15,000-20,000 dollar range. With a firing rate of 1,000 rounds per minute, the price of the gun will be small compared to ammo over a lifetime.

Maybe a better approach.:

alternatively, anyone know the gatling gun manufacturer in greater Dayton Ohio? I know there is one around Clayton somewhere, but not sure where.

Hey I will ask my X Dayton Police officer friend next time I see him he might just know.

There are a couple of Gatling type guns made today.

Here's one at Dillon Aero.

Search on YouTube and you can find a number of videos showing the Dillon being shot.

I've seen setups that are basically a pair of ruger 10/22s mounted side by side with a hand crank but that's about it, unless you can find one that served as a movie prop I would say that you are probably about 80 years too late to grab one out of the sears catalog.

A few years back I recall a woman at Knob Creek selling a Gatling that fired linked 5.56mm. It was a hand crank affair and had some kind of delinker built into it's feed system rather than gravity feeding from a hopper like a regular Gatling. the barrels had A2 birdcage flash hiders on them too. I though it looked awesome.

The price tag was around $20,000 if I recall...
