 THE GATLING GUN
Joseph Berk (136 pages) PP
Price $39.95 HB
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 gun is a force to be reckoned with. After being declared obsolete in
1911, its staged an impressive comeback as the Vulcan in the 1950's, 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. Here is the fascinating ongoing story of a
truly timeless weapon, from its beginnings during the Civil War to its current role as a
state of the art modern combat system.
