-> The original quote was a little messed up.  Did he mean "rifle"
-> barrels or "rifled" barrels (he used rifeled which has no meaning
-> that I am aware of).  Did he mean "rifle" as in 18" or more, or did
-> he mean "rifled" as in land and grooves that give the twist to
-> bullets?
-> So, were you agreeing to rifle barrels or rifled barrels?  Don't know
-> if a Gatling gun with pistol barrels is legal or not.
I was asking for clarification.  We were discussing a SCALE MODEL
Gatling gun.  I assume that means the barrel length is scaled down from
the original also.  Like you, I **SUSPECT** that less than 18" length
would be a problem.  I really don't know, though.
I'm not sure why the government would care if the 22 barrels were rifled
or smoothbore.
If you had a scale model civil war cannon with an 8" barrel, and you
were able to load it with fine grain black powder and an appropriate
piece of birdshot and fire it, would it be considered a pistol because
the barrel was only 8" long?
The only thing I'm sure of is that government regulations don't have to
make any logical sense . . .
