This video from "The Vault" features motion picture armorer Larry Zanoff discussing the Gatling gun at Independent Studio Services (ISS). Zanoff explains the Gatling gun's historical significance as a "force multiplier" in the post-Civil War era, contrasting it with single-shot rifles. He draws a parallel to the modern M134 Minigun and touches on the challenges of integrating such rapid-fire technology into contemporary military tactics. The discussion also covers the practical aspects of servicing, maintaining, and operating Gatling guns on movie sets. The video highlights the Gatling guns' appearances in films like "3:10 to Yuma," "Jonah Hex," "The Book of Eli," and "The Last Samurai."
