1/24 EC9693 Encore Gatling Gun - Early American Machine Gun - (ex-Palmer / Life-Like)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Very cleanly molded. Encore did a superb job of cleaning up these older molds as they are much better than any of the other issues. The gun is about 6 inches long when built and is molded gray and includes metal chain. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bag including instructions. The Gatling Gun was invented by Richard Jordan Gatling in about 1862. The first version fired .58 caliber bullets. Later improvements led to .30 caliber bullets being fired by a hand crank from a gravity fed magazine. Firing rate was 400 round per minute. The hand cranked gun stayed in production until 1911 and was first used during the US Civil War at the siege of Petersburg, Virginia.
