-feedback-
my problem with this answer. is that it does not say the name of the gun more specifically nor does it say the nationstate that got this technology first, where as the first rapid fire turrent was in the year 1862 and it was the Americans. it was called gatling gun. also one of the first guns for personnel to carry was something like a tommy gun in the 1930s and 1940s. i need to know this for a game im working on called Call to power II :World at war mod. if this is true i could use civilian machine gunners much more sooner.
