	Richard Jordan Gatling
		Gatling thought the invention of an automatic gun that could deliver a high rate of fire would reduce the number of soldiers required to man the battlefield, thus helping to reduce the number of battlefield casualties.
		The Gatling Gun went through many changes over the years, including the number of barrels, size of bullets fired, type of magazines used, etc. Some guns were built smaller, some were mounted on carriages, and still others were built to allow for side-to-side movement.
		Gatling lived in Hartford until 1897, when he and his wife moved to New York City to be near their daughter and her husband.

	The Gatling Gun
		If you believe Richard Jordan Gatling's obituary, he invented his multi-firing weapon for humanitarian reasons-he hoped to reduce the carnage on the battlefield by shortening the length of a war or eliminating it.
		Gatling's solution was to utilize revolving barrels-four on some early models, six on most Gatling guns, so that each barrel had an opportunity to cool as it revolved.
		This descendent of the Gatling gun would have amazed Richard Gatling-it was capable of firing 7,200 rounds a minute with a muzzle velocity of 3,380 feet per second.
