[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1331532, member: 6406"] According to Wikipedia, the innovation was the gravity-based ammunition feed. The rotating mechanism was the same as revolvers commonly used, and the mitrailleuse used multiple barrels in the same way. While feeding rapidly from a magazine is important, I'd rate recoil operation higher. E: The Gatling originated in 1861, when revolvers had been around for some time. [/QUOTE]
