The Gatling gun is an early type of machine gun created in 1861 whose design consists of multiple barrels which cycle between one another in a sequence to facilitate rapid fire.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In 1868, the Rooks gang member Nigel Bumble got a group of Blighters drunk, stole a Gatling gun from them, and had it installed in the Train Hideout as a gift for Jacob Frye. While at Whitechapel station, they were approached by a group of Blighters, and Jacob took over the gun to deal with them.[2]
Although the gun was effective, more Blighters kept coming, even giving chase with a train of their own. Jacob used the Gatling gun to destroy the enemy's coupling system, detaching wagons one by one. They managed to escape an ambush and destroyed the Blighters' train by firing into a carriage filled with dynamite, although in the end, the Gatling gun overheated and had to be abandoned once it caught fire.[2]
