Take a look at this! It's like the Tippmann gatling gun on the hellhound but looks like its a little crapier. Still looks pretty cool.

If i read it right it only uses 1 gun? If so the whole thing is kinda pointless. Its not actually shooting any fast it just has 8 barrels and shoots as fast as an electronic spyder. Kinda pointless if you ask me but thats just my opinion.:)

Wow, I bet I'll see it at Waynes World..........
An AO'er should buy it and rain down upon the Shatner team at Spplat 2!

Mother of god...... that thing must sound sooooooo cool. Just imagine hearing that thing speed up then pump out A LOT of paint a second. I would probably run like a little girl. Wellllll maybe not. mmmmmmm just like the predator scene.....

Is there only one spyder flash or is there one for each barrel??

I think it just spins while the flash shoots. Kinda pointless, It just looks cool. But then what the hell is with the dual CO2's....

As someone who maintains gatling guns as a career, I am HIGHLY disappointed in this poor attempt and mockery of the wonders of a true gatling weapon.

and if you say dont knock it unless you make something better... Im sure that I can blow that out of the water, with AGD stuff also!

This is one of those off the wall things that show up at scenario games. More for show than go. Still, its cool. I'd like to see it in action.

I wanna know why that person has a row of movie-theater seats in his/her house????


More importantly if it fires once out of each barrel, how would that keep in time? Like if you pull the trigger and stop does the barrel stop spinning or is it meant to only be full auto?

Paint only comes from one barrel, in the center. Then 8 mock barrels spin around it. Like some one here said "more show thasn go", it's cool, if I were a hardcore scenario guy anymore, I'd bid.

Dont mean to try and sound like a smartas$ here but, if it does not require being cranked to operate, and it uses an eletronic system, that its a minigun, not a gatling gun, even if it is a cheap rip off...

Local weapons expert chiming in again...

The difffrence between a minigun and a gatling gun is basicly the size of the projecticle it is chambered in.

anything below 50 caliber that operates on the gatling principal is a minigun

therefore technicly a paintball minigun could never really exist... it would have to be classfied a full fledged gatling gun. well um yeah that is well kinda

You don't play scenario games... Remember there are tons of people that play paintball that don't play paintball the way you do.

I saw a design like this at the 1995 Indoor National Championships in TN. It was very similar design, but had a mag in the center tube, with the outer tubes spinning around it.

I was getting my gun worked on at the AGD table, and the guy was showing it to Tom. The AGD Airsmith remarked "That must be something real cool, as I have never seen Tom talk to anyone for more than 5 minutes the entire tourney" ...

Isn't the point of a real Gatling gun's mutliple barrels heat dissapation? They do not shoot out of more than one barrel at a time either, but while the barrel stack is spinning, the barrel that was just shot has time to cool off.

Paintballs do not really create a lot of heat when passed through a barrel, so the mulitple rotating barrels seems pointless.

Only 3% of the pb playing public plays tourney ball. The other 97% play rec and scenario.

look at this picture... its not shooting out of a middle barrel, its positined at one of the side barrels here so it must shoot through them as they spin. also, where do you see movie theatre seats?
