Tripod for 9mm Gatling gun

Post by GunnyGene » Sat Jan 25, 2020 8:28 am

Lever guns, wheel guns, and Gatling guns all go together. Used to be you could only get this rather expensive range toy/Home Defense weapon on a wheeled carriage. Now you can get a tripod for it. And it still takes Glock mags. How cool is that?

MAC video of firing, etc. (carriage mounted)

The new tripod is about 2.5 feet tall and has the same traversing handle and machined elevation screw as the current wheeled carriage. The extra height makes operating the gun even easier removing the need to kneel at the gun. The tripod seems perfect for setting up in a lane at the range.

$5g +. But it's not a NFA gun, unless you hook up your DeWalt drill to it.

Would be perfect for your panic room, or the upstairs window to cover a wide field of fire...

You aren't paranoid if they really are out to get yah. ;)

If he does maybe I could visit, and see it in action.
He is just south of here a little bit. ;)

Just as soon as I win PowerBall. I'd need at least 4. One for my truck (tripod mount bolted down in the bed), one each for the front and back porches (tripod), and one carriage mounted to tow behind my mower. :mrgreen: :lol:

I wonder if Tippmann has considered offering these in other calibers/gauges? Pick your favorite. :)

Do it like a quad 50! Hire four monkeys to turn the cranks and you set on the turret.

THAT's funny, I just told a friend I wanted one in 45 and one in 223.

That's easy to solve. Take it to your local range, rent it out at $10 or $20/magazine and the shooter has to provide their own ammo. :mrgreen:
