Alex Smyth created this .22 Steam punk Gatling gun from scratch with aluminum/steel skeleton with 7 rotating barrels. The whole gun is sheath in real copper with 1300 hand rib-bets in it. Built off of a Ruger 1022 to keep it legal. Also has an area at the top for the simulated steam from the ice and water.
The chimney and electric motor that drives the rotary barrel which has nothing to do with the firing mechanism to be in compliance with the law. Installed a rotary trigger fed by a .22 magazine from the bottom, total gun weighs 60 lbs. See the demonstration of the .22 Gatlin gun here.

Better keep some Brasso on hand.
I've got your "gun control" right here!
What is the pressure gauge for?
Other than for looks?
You are not supposed to. It's VERY illegal. Attention, ATF, I don't know how.
When is the gov going to “Randy Weaver” him and his dog and his wife and his family?
meh x 2
Sorry but putting copper around a 10/22 and a crank handle is not made from scratch.
Had a 10/22 with a crank handle 35 years ago and it was fun.
I suspect the rotating barrels are for looks and the real barrel is the middle.
It’s *all* for looks. There are real .22 rimfire Gatling guns, but this ain’t one of them. It’s just an elaborate disguise for a .22 rifle.

Scroll down to an awesome video about the A-10.
Rotary triggers on Ruger 10/22’s are legal now?!
“rib-bets” = rivets, or am I missing something?
OK, I give. What are “rib-ets”? Did he mean rivets or are they something else more exotic?
“Alex Smyth created this .22 Steam punk Gatling gun from scratch...”
This is much more interesting than that “clock” built my the muzzie kid...do you think Alex will get an invite from the White House?
More like when is Obama going to invite this young inventor to the white house. It’s way more cool then then what Clockmed came up with and took more brains than that kid will ever have.
Rib-bets: fasteners installed by frogs.
You are not supposed to. It's VERY illegal. Attention, ATF, I don't know how.
I have read in many places that it is legal to make your own gun provided you don't sell it. They sell 80% receivers for people wanting to make their own AR-15.
Would someone who knows more about this enlighten us?
Some will hoard guns.
Some will hoard CNC milling machines.
Are you saying that this gun was designed by the muzzie clockboy?
