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.
