Gatlin was born in 1818 into a family of farmers in North Carolina, USA. In addition to the young Gatlin's natural penchant for pondering agricultural issues,

It also shows multifaceted talents. At the age of 17, he experimented with various inventions, sometimes a boat propeller and sometimes a rice transplanter. In order for his design to succeed, he needed money. So Gatling does whatever he does, he does what he does. He worked as a clerk and administrative secretary, as a temporary laborer for cotton planting and as a helper for harvesting crops, taught farmers to read, and finally went to St. Louis, where he worked as a salesperson in a drugstore and became a doctor. After the outbreak of the American Civil War, he served in a military hospital. Once, while he was treating the wounded, a thought crossed his mind: if a few soldiers could use rapid-fire weapons against an infantry regiment, they would not have inflicted such heavy casualties. As a result, Gatling began the design of a multi-barreled machine gun in 1861, initially named the "Gatling Rapid Fire Weapon".

In the early days of the Civil War, the Gatling gun developed by Gatling could fire 250 times per minute. The new Gatling rapid-fire weapon fires up to 10,000 shots per minute (Soviet AK-630 cannon). However, the inventor of the machine gun turned out to be a kind and kind man. He did not develop this machine gun for the purpose of violence and destruction. Since the machine gun could be operated by a single person, Gatling hoped that the weapon would prevent entire teams of fighters from dying under enemy fire. After 30 years of continuous improvement, he sold his invention to the Colt Gunsmith Company.

Not only did he invent the machine gun, he was born on a farm and helped his father design a cotton machine. Later, when he was in business, he designed a propeller and in turn invented a machine for sowing rice. Since then, he has specialized in inventions. Prior to his death, he was the leader of the St. Louis Gatling Engine Power Company. He plans to put on the market a new type of motorized plough of his design.

His friend said of Gatlin that he was a researcher and a philosopher. He studied medicine and was able to take care of himself and his family's bodies. Although his invention allowed him to earn a considerable amount of money, he lost a lot of money when investing in the construction of railways in the western region. He has also tasted the bitter fruits of failure, one of which was a recent explosion in the chamber of a gun. The gun that exploded was made by him in imitation of the gun of the Krupp company. He believes that the cause of the accident was sabotage.

Folded early

Gatlin was originally a doctor, but he devoted his life to engineering. When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, Gatling saw in the hospital that there were so many dead and wounded officers and soldiers evacuated, and in addition to the dead and wounded on the battlefield, many soldiers also died of disease and malnutrition. Gatling believed that if he could reduce the number of soldiers, thousands of lives could be saved. Gatling hoped to invent a gun that relied on ferocious firepower, one gun could top many rifles, so that a soldier could have the combat effectiveness of many soldiers (his goal was to have a soldier on top of a company), so as to reduce the number of soldiers on the battlefield and achieve the goal of reducing war casualties. Later he finally invented this machine gun. In the summer of 1861, Gatling began to design and conceive a rotary tube machine gun, which was completed by the end of that year and validated the following year. On November 4, 1862, Gatling was granted a patent for the rotary machine gun, which, in addition to including a technical description of the 1862 model of the Gatling machine gun, included a statement of design features common to a two-point rotary machine gun: a cylindrical rotating body with a firing pin inside that provided a lock chamber, which rotated with the barrel; Each barrel has an independent firing pin. This made it impossible to patent all designs similar to the Gatling gun in the future.

It's an American Gatling gun. The Gatling gun was invented in 1861, improved accordingly in 1865, and equipped with the US Army in 1866. The Gatling gun can be called the forerunner of modern machine guns. In the 19th century, when the development of metal gun bullets gradually matured, American inventors began to design manual machine guns. However, it was not until the time of the American Civil War that machine guns were taken seriously by the military. During this period, the order military appeared one after another
