Are Gatling guns fully automatic rather than machine guns?

No. Machine guns are fully automatic. With Gatling guns, you have put in bullets and crank at the same time but with machine guns, you have to put in bullets, place them on the ground and let them activate and they will open fire. Gatling guns cannot fire automatically, you have carry them and hold them so they can fire. Machine guns are much better than Gatling guns because they can fire thousand of rounds per minute, faster, powerful and can automatically open fire.

What effects in history did the gatling gun have?

Not much in US history. US military's preferred to use cannons and rifles. The gun existed, but certainly didn't impress any US military men; Custer intentionally left his Gatling "options" behind in 1876 during the Big Horn Campaign, and if he did regret it, he probably was to occuppied at the time to think too much about it (he only lived for about an hour after the initial engagement).


How much ammo did the average soldier carry?

Each soldier carried a different amount depending on job and size of unit. Personal ammo was around 200rounds for rifle, 2-4 grenades, maybe a couple of morter shells, a claymore mine, and extra heavy machine gun ammo. Some soldiers had LAWs which is a rocket launcher and would also carry the rockets for the weapon. Its was more about how much weight a man could carry rather than how much individual ammo.

Will machine guns be able to beat Gatling guns?

Yes because machine guns are much better than gatling guns. With Gatling guns, you have to crank and put bullets in at the same time so they can open fire but with machine guns, you don't have to crank them. Just put in bullets, place them on the ground and let them activate. If you have Gatling guns, you have to carry them and hold them but they are very heavy and also not fully automatic. With machine guns, you do not have to carry them and hold to let them open fire. Some machine guns are heavy and light but they open fire automatically without having someone to crank but even though, machine guns are faster and much stronger than Gatling guns. They can fire up to thousand to 1 million rounds per minute while Gatling guns can fire up to 60 rounds per minute. Winner: Machine guns have beaten Gatling guns.
