Is it considered a NFA item with its unique action? (The hand crank)
My very limited understanding is that as long as there one action for each bullet being fired its not an NFA. |
These things were all the rage in the mid 90's. Not sure if they still are. |

It depends on barrel length I think, hand crank is not FA, electric cranking is FA Here in Michigan I can mosey on down to Midwest Gun Exchange in Indiana and pick one up for 40k as a rifle as long as its got 16" barrels no far from here, tho i like midwest gun and range, its smaller but they will let you shoot it in house when you buy it lol |

Hand crank isn't NFA

First answer: it's "Gatling" with a "g". Second answer: it's not an NFA item since it's manually operated. This. You motorize it and it's a different story. What if you used a dog running on a treadmill and a magnetic coupler? |

<---- Not a machinist or engineer nor do I play one on T.V.. So, how fast can someone conceivably get a hand cranked , multi-barrel firearm to fire? GE melted one when they hooked an electric motor to it. After the engineers who did it quit laughing themselves silly, they invented the mini-gun. |

They are like semiauto 1919s and M2s and those can legally have barrels less than 16" as long as they are over 26" long. ETA: If kiln guns can have nonnfa suppressors because they aren't portable a much heavier and more permanently mounted Gatling should certainly qualify if someone wrote a tech letter. |
