You will have to look long and hard to find a book that has no bias. That would be like reporters who have no bias. Could you report a war and not care which side wins?

Well, before I go off the deep end, let me ask a question about Gatling guns, since the subject has popped up and I will assume that readers who have an interest (unbiased or not) will read this thread.

Sometimes Gatling guns show up in movies. The War Wagon, which was a Keenan Wynn movie, is the only example I can think of right now. My question is, are those Gatling guns we see in the movies original?
