The Apache has a 30mm Chain gun (Machine Gun).

The Chain gun is a different variety of externally powered machine gun than the Gatling. Generally when folks say "machine gun" though, they mean some sort of self loader that is powdered by the recoil of or the gas bled off from the fired round.

Then you would have to link them yourself. More likely, the video was shot at the maximum rate of fire for the weapon. It just is incredibly fast. The tracers also leave a ghost trail that lingers so it seems like a solid line especially in the evening shots. Looks like R2507 at Yuma.
