Having seen the traverse mechanism on Gatlings, I can see why they did not become popular for direct support.
OTOH, the Boers did have a neat device called a "pom-pom"....a 37mm Maxim machine gun! That puppy would outrange most anything the Brits could being up in a hurry and was quite effective on flat terrain (fairly flat trajectory). Anyone knows anything about those?
BTW, which laws make hopper feeders for mechanical Gatlings illegal?
