The Gatling Gun: 19th Century Machine Gun to 21st Century Vulcan
The Gatling Gun outlines the development of the Gatling gun from its inception during the Civil War to applications on a variety of modern combat systems.
More than 130 years after its introduction, 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. It will no doubt play a vital military role well into the 21st century, and this is the definitive book on its history, development and technology.
