YES
The gatling gun was invented by Richard Gatling in 1861 (it was a common weapon in the American civil war, i must add).
The Gatling Gun was invented in the USA by Dr. Richard Gatling, but other countries bought them and used them. General Gorloff who purchased them for the Russian Army renamed them Gorloff Guns, and a gatling gun is known as a gorloff gun in Russia today. Also, any machine gun or automatic cannon which now uses Gatling's principle of revolving barrels can be called a gatling with a lower case "g."
He invented the first successful machine gun called the Gatling Gun
In ww1 yes they used it but it was rebuild and renamed in russia after they foundout about the weapon. As of ww2 no it was no longer used.
Machine guns were first used in the trenches of the First World War. They were mainly used as defensive weapons because they were too heavy to carry, and they required three or so men to operate them. The first true rapid fire gun, the Gatling gun, was used after the Civil War in engagements against Indian tribes.
The Gatling Gun was invented before the American Civil War. It saw only limited use in that war, but it was used in following wars around the world by the US and other countries.

the first rapid fire gun was the hand crannked gatling gun used in the civil war but the maxim was the first true machine gun which was developed not long after the gatling
Gatling guns evolved into machine guns prior to WWII.
Used (poorly) in very few battles.
Dr. Richard Gatling was the inventor of the Gatling Gun which used revolving barrels to achieve a high rate of fire. The principle was revived in the 1960's and is still used today. Gatling refused to sell his gun to the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and the US Army was not interested, but after the War the US Army adopted the gun. Gatling, a medical doctor by trade, was ironically inspired to invent the Gatling Gun for humanitarian reasons, so as to make war more efficient, thus reducing the appalling casualties as a result of disease. Gatling patented numerous nonlethal inventions and improvements to existing inventions, but none as famous as the Gatling Gun.
the gatling gun was invented by Richard Jordan Gatling about 1861. however his gatling never really saw action during the civil war. he did not sell his gatling gun to the government until 1866, after the civil war.
