Gatling Gun

The Gatling Gun is one of the best known early rapid-fire weapons and a forerunner of the modern machine gun. The weapon first saw combat usage in a battlefield role during the American Civil War in the Union Army. The first Gatling gun was capable of laying down continuous automatic fire, but required the user to turn a crank mechanism to operate.

The Gatling gun features prominently in both Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption

In Red Dead Redemption the Gatling Gun has unlimited ammunition. It is first used in the mission The Assault on Fort Mercer, where it is mounted in the back of Nigel West Dickens' stagecoach.
