Talk:Gorgon/@comment-474862-20140213144419

I trimmed off that "appears to be a rotary machine gun" bit that was added to my trivia note. A "rotary machine gun" would imply a gattling-style multi-barrel weapon that uses multiple barrels to reduce heat-load on each barrel, and uses a motor to spin the barrels. Think the so called "Mini-gun" and the vulcans on A10s. Clearly, Gorgon only has one barrel, which doesn't move.

Gorgon seems to instead use a motor to drive only the feeding system (i.e. the "action") that chambers new rounds as it fires, which is probably why you hear that sound when you release the trigger. A rotary cannon? No. That said a gattling cannon would be nice, but this isn't one.
