Got a Spare $50K?

Then you can buy a newly-manufactured Colt 1877 Gatling gun! It's chambered in period-correct .45-70, which should be a real gas if you were to load them with black powder.



The price is from RUMINT, so if you can afford one, you'll have to have a dealer call Colt's wholesaler for price info.

    Just the thing to get rid of those pesky red squirrels.

    When I was a kid, my father knew someone with one of these in his gun collection. He also had a Type 35 Bugatti, a full race Gran Prix machine. You don't mind the rich so much that have class.....

    P.S. I love you anyway, Earthbound. Most of your politics are all-good, even though you do have this kinky thing about firearms.

    Those cartridges are $1.75 apiece. Even after the acquisition cost, this baby can burn through $1,400 per minute. Alas, I am the 99%.

    I presume that if you're buying ammunition in lots of 10,000 rounds or more, that you can get a hell of a deal.

    Is this a registered/tranferable firearm? I'd LOVE one but I don't have a MG permit as we say in Ca.
    rather have a Ma Duce, but this would be fun. Reloading dies haven't gone up that much. I used to "roll my own" at 5 to 1 for
    .308's and .223's.

    My understanding is that as far as Federal law goes, Gatling guns are not considered to be machine guns.
