Gatling gun
The Gatling gun was the first successful machine gun. Unlike previous devices it was the first to combine reliability, high firing rate and ease of loading into a single device. It was designed by the American inventor Richard J. Gatling in 1861 and patented on May 9, 1865. In modern use it often refers to guns of similar rotating barrel design.
