Yer, but you would probably have to paint it blue to prove that it's not a real one. (I assume that these may/could be interpreted as "Realistic Imitation Firearms" in the UK?)

Received this Model of the Colt 1883 Gatling gun as a gift some years ago. When you turn the crank handle, the barrels rotate just like the original. I need to make an ejection port in the side and some small dummy cartridges. There is room for a dummy cartridge at the breech end of each barrel. This way the dummy cartridges will fall out when you turn the crank ! Another project ?![]()

My favourite weapon of all time the Gatling Gun, bolstored by the fact I was present at Fort Bragg when the armourer had one apart on an exchange visit many years ago, and as I have said on this site before..................so far ahead of its time, and if you look at the collection mechanism for collecting and firing each round its incredible for the 1860's.
That model looks as if it would fire something!!
