The Gatling Gun
THE GATLING GUN
19th Century Machine Gun to 21st Century Vulcan
by Joseph Berk
When it was introduced in 1862, the Gatling gun was so far ahead of its time that the U.S. military didn't even know how to make use of such a powerful, high-rate-of-fire, multibarreled gun. But today, more than 130 years later, the Gatling is a force to be reckoned with. After being declared obsolete in 1911, it staged an impressive comeback as the Vulcan in the 1950s, terrified the Vietcong in the jungles of Vietnam and contributed to the swift defeat of Iraqi troops in the liberation of Kuwait. With modern applications ranging from air defense to saturation fire to antitank gun systems and even portable infantry weapons, it will no doubt play a vital military role well into the 21st century. 8 1/2 x 11, hardcover, photos, illus., 136 pp.
