The first machine gun developed during the Industrial Revolution was the Gatling gun, invented by Dr. Richard Gatling in 1861. This early firearm used a series of rotating barrels to fire multiple rounds in rapid succession, significantly increasing firepower compared to traditional single-shot weapons. The Gatling gun was initially used during the American Civil War and laid the groundwork for the development of more advanced automatic weapons in the years to come.
