Gatling machine gun

5,527 AltheimManufactorum  5 months ago

A very important question has come up for me. How can I make a three-barrel or eight-barrel Gatling system machine gun out of rotor and cannons, that it all works well and that each shot is fired from the same position?

    Sadly only stock miniguns are able to do this.
    I've tried with various firing speeds using a functioning rotary cannon and it's nigh-impossible to match the firerate with the rpm of the barrels. I've yet to see someone synchronize the two to make a perfect gatling gun.


    On that note, I did just make the barrels fake. The actual firing is done by a cannon set in the middle of the weapon with firingDelay set to 0 for the fastest firerate you can get. Add 6 more duplicate cannons, glue them to the same spot, and you have yourself a simulated gatling gun.

    @Samfpanzer just stealing won't do anything! Although you are probably only in the business of stealing ideas from others
