  2. People are getting into the bad habit of mixing terminologies. A chain gun and a powered Gatling gun are very different things. A powered Gatling gun fires and ejects regardless if the round is a dud or not.

  3.  @american7169  that is a mixing of terminology. A belt fed weapon is not a chain gun.

  4.  @american7169  that is false. The feed system has nothing to do with the name. The video already explained why it's called a chain gun.

  5. That's the whole point. The multiple barrels help to cool them off by keeping them in motion.

  6. Now you're really mixing and matching terms and devices. A mark 19 is a belt fed automatic grenade launcher. Not a chain gun...

  7.  @eloiseharbeson2483  there's no chain operating the action.

  8.  @eloiseharbeson2483  you are the only one I know of who has. The mark 19 is a grenade launcher capable of automatic fire and is operated without a chain in any form to operate the action.

  9.  @eloiseharbeson2483  no, I've never had the pleasure. Not much need for grenade launchers in the Navy.

  10. As I recall ,the Cobra has a non-chain gun.
