History Main / GatlingGood

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSteamEnginesOfOz'', the munchikin planes are mounted with Gatling {{Lightning Gun}}s operated by gunners positioned on the wings.

** ''WesternAnimation/StitchTheMovie'' shows that Jumba and Pleakley's spaceship has one as well.

* ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'''s summer wave sets of 2007 came with Cordak Revolving Blasters, possibly the most realistic looking guns of the entire line.

* ''Film/SplitSecond'': The {{BFG}}s that Stone and Durkin bring along to the final fight are rotary-cannon [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter "assault shotguns"]].

* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has bigger Gatling guns than most works, because they're all carried by HumongousMecha.

* In ''film/TheOutlawsIsComing'', the [[WeaponizedCar armoured Thunder Wagon]] includes a Gatling gun amongst its armaments, and Trigger makes good use of it while chasing Cabot and the Stooges. The Stooges create their own Gatling gun and shoot back by [[RuleOfFunny feeding their gunbelts into a meat grinder and cranking the handle]].

* In the Creator/ClintEastwood vehicle ''Film/TheOutlawJoseyWales'' the Redlegs used Gatlings mounted on the back of a wagon [[spoiler:to kill all the bushwhackers that had just surrendered to them and turned their own guns in]]

* A man with a Gatling gun killed several powerful villains (in fact, practically ''every villain besides himself'') early on in ''Anime/RurouniKenshin''. It was an era-appropriate early model, operated with a hand crank (although this was slightly undermined by the ammo belt; hand-cranked models invariably used a gravity-feed hopper). In the anime, he was stopped when it jammed after one of the villains stuck a poison dart in the ammo belt; in the manga, he simply ran out of bullets after mowing everyone down.
* In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', [[CombatPragmatist Lotten]], the BigBad of the Crashtown Arc, uses Gatling Ogre, a Fiend with a Gatling gun in its chest, with which he can achieve a First Turn Kill.

* For a while, a Vulcan cannon was the primary "weapon" of Bungo Takano's "shadow dragon" Hainekuwele in ''Manga/ShadowStar''.
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has bigger gatling guns than most works, because they're all carried by HumongousMecha.

** The [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam Leopard]] also has a arm-carried beam gatling and a pair hidden on its chest.

* ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' (and ''Anime/{{Robotech}}'') both feature HumongousMecha scale Gatling cannons typically called Gunpods as their primary weapon for nearly all Valkyries, in various forms since inception. The Gatling cannons generally have a ''[[{{BFG}} two-inch bore]]''.
* Gargomon in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' had a Gatling gun [[ArmCannon on both arms]], making him dangerous to the humans as well as the Digimon early on -- he was a bit drunk with the Champion level power.
* ''Franchise/{{Zoids}}'' has the Hibilt Vulcan cannon, a massive six-barreled beam Gatling weapon. Oddly enough, the anime would often inconsistently depict it as a projectile weapon instead. There are too many Zoids that can equip it to list here, but we will mention Karl Shuvaltz in ''Chaotic Century'', who was known for having all his AceCustom units being armed with one.

* In episode 21 of ''Manga/PsychicSquad'' when Oboro Kashiwagi the otherwise ordinary secretary lays eyes on a life-sized doll of herself, her response is to whip a ''minigun'' out of nowhere and shoot it to dust.
* ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'' has large tanks that have stupidly large six-barreled rotary cannons in place of the main gun. And the monstrous mobile gun platforms have ''four'' of the same. Each.

* One villain from ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' wields one in "The Hunt for Greenback Jane"/"Roanapur Freak Show".

* The titular [[HumongousMecha Exaxxion mecha]] from ''Manga/CannonGodExaxxion'' subverts this by making a trio of 88 mm Gatling cannons the SMALLEST weapon on the entire mech.

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
** ''Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce'' has Arnage, whose Divider is [[http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/7439/1288308301596.jpg a pair of Gatling guns strapped together which she easily wields with one hand.]]
** The ''[[Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaInnocent INNOCENT]]'' version of Dieci Nakajima switches out her [[{{BFG}} Enormous Cannon]] for a Gatling gun. [[SmallGirlBigGun And she's only an elementary school student in that continuity]].
* In ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'', Batou uses a Gatling in the style of "Ol' Painless" from ''Predator'' during an invasion of Section 9's headquarters by a military wet team.
* Tenaka from ''Manga/BlackButler'' has one of these in the '''kitchen'''!
* Aging in the 2002 arc of ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' has a modified mini-gun that she wields one-handed in combination with an over-sized Gurkha Knife in her other hand, much to the shock of her associates. To be fair, they often compare her to the Terminator.
* ''Anime/TheBigO'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlvLpYoUUfc&t=3m47s "O Thunder"]] is a pair of retractable Gatling {{arm cannon}}s.

* In the ''Anime/BlackRockShooter'' anime, Black★Rock Shooter uses one at several points. At one point, Insane BRS and [[spoiler: Mato transformed into BRS]] ''duel each other'' using Gatling guns.
* ''Anime/LastExile'''s Silvana has six hidden rotary cannons behind the forward armor plates. They tend to [[CurbStompBattle end battles swiftly]].
* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', [=BG9=]'s Quincy Cross manifests as a Gatling Gun, though Sui-Feng destroys it before he has a chance to fire it.
* [[MultiRangedMaster Chris Yukine's]] default weapons in ''Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear'' are a pair of laser crossbows, but she much prefers to [[MorphWeapon change]] them into a pair of Gatling guns named "Billion Maiden". They have two rotating barrels apiece, are each roughly her size, and pack enough raw firepower to mow down hordes of [[TheHeartless Noise]].
* ''Anime/BatmanNinja'': The Joker has a massive Gatling gun mounted on his ship which he uses to sink Batman's ninja ship.

* Comicbook/WarMachine typically [[ShoulderCannon carries one of these on his left shoulder]]. With his current ability to integrate external technology into his armor, he can (and often does) add more.
* Minor MarvelUniverse villain Gattling wears a battle suit with twin Gatling-style machine guns mounted on each forearm. Yes, he's a villain created in the '90s.
* ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'' was once faced with old wild west Gatling guns in the episode ''The Treasure of the Daltons''. Fortunately for him, the bandits firing them all graduated from the ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy and the only casualty was TheCavalry's trumpet.
* ComicBook/ThePunisher foe Rapido has a Gatling ArmCannon.

* ''ComicBook/WynonnaEarp'': When the town of Tombstone is magically transformed back to the way it had been in 1881, Valdez finds herself wielding a hand-cranked Gatling gun rather than her usual {{BFG}}. She still manages to use it to great effect against the revenants (and look really badass while doing so).

* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' contains the EnergyWeapon version, as both the automated turrets used to guard Stitch's cell in the opening and the main weapon on the red [[SpaceFighter police cruiser]] he steals.

* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise:
** ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'': The T-800 famously uses a minigun modified to be carried by hand to fend off the police. And it was reported that Schwarzenegger was the only man on the set strong enough to carry it on his own.
** ''Film/TerminatorSalvation''. The T-600s robots have Gatling guns attached to their arms.
* ''Film/TheMatrix'' features a helicopter-mounted minigun, which is one of the few weapons that fires too fast for the Agents to dodge.
* ''Film/{{Predator}}'' features the famous GE M134 minigun "Ol' Painless" wielded by former Navy SEAL, former Pro Wrestler and later Minnesota Governor Wrestling/JesseVentura, and was the first handheld minigun ever to be used on film (or in any fiction for that matter). The actors firing that thing had to be braced just offscreen, lest the recoil knock them on their ass. And that was just firing ''blanks''. They also had to connect it to an external power source offscreen, via a wire that went down his pants. Jesse himself has stated that while the gun was suspended from an offscreen crane in early takes, later he actually managed to fire it without. According to him: "You just had to grit your teeth and hold on. It's like firing a chainsaw. It's fucking ridiculous. [[AwesomeButImpractical Why the fuck would anyone want to use something like that]]?"
* ''Film/TheSumOfAllFears'' has a scene where a 20mm Vulcan cannon in a [[AntiAir Phalanx mounting]] on the USS ''John C. Stennis'' is used in an attempt to defend the ship from a missile attack.
* A criminal uses one in ''Film/SupermanReturns'', [[ShootingSuperman to no effect]].

* In the epilogue of ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}'''s latter film, ''Film/PlanetTerror'', Cherry Darling has replaced her rifle-leg with a minigun. There's also a motorbike-mounted chaingun in the ''Film/{{Machete}}'' trailer. (Apparently the same prop.)
* All robots seem to have rotary guns in the ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movie. Including ones made from mobile phones. In the first movie, you also see the famous A-10 firing its GAU-8 Avenger at Scorponok. This was a rare moment of pyrotechnic understatement for Michael Bay. A burst from an Avenger gun is less of a line of pew-pews as seen in the movie, and more like God throwing a fistful of bullets with all his might.
* ''Film/ThreeTenToYuma2007'' features a hand-cranked Gatling gun.
* In ''Film/TheLastSamurai'', the Japanese government purchases a battery of Civil War-era Gatling Guns from the United States. These weapons quickly and efficiently wipe out the remnants of the Samurai during their final DesperationAttack.

* ''Film/TheWarWagon'' (1967) is a {{Western}} starring Creator/JohnWayne and Creator/KirkDouglas, who plan to rob an armored stagecoach (owned by a villainous CattleBaron) that is armed with a turret-mounted Gatling gun. Since the wagon effectively amounted to a horse-drawn tank the InvulnerableHorses trope had to be in full effect as well.
* Guess what's bolted to the port side of [[CoolCar that black truck]] in ''Film/TangoAndCash''. Right, a 20mm Gatling.

* ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' features a suit of PoweredArmor with a Gatling gun built around the right forearm. It suffers from a somber rate of fire and [[HyperspaceArsenal gates in ammo]] from the ''Dakkaverse''.
* In ''Film/VanHelsing'', as Carl hands out a variety of standard [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]]-killing weapons, Van Helsing notices a prototype Gatling Gun being tested elsewhere in the room and quips 'Why can't I have one of those?'

* Spoofed in ''Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber''. PVT Widdle and Sgt Maj [=MacNutt=] turn a hand-cranked Gatling-type on the horde of rampaging Burpers, only for it to play music instead. They open the drum magazine [[RuleOfFunny to discover a gramophone record]].
* ''Film/KickAss'' Big Daddy and Hit-Girl are shown buying something that while unrevealed to the audience, is apparently awesome enough to make them {{Squee}} with delight. Hit-Girl later makes it ''more'' awesome by adding Gatling Guns to it, still not revealing what it is. The climax shows what could possibly be awesome enough to have Gatling Guns as an accessory: [[spoiler:a JetPack]].
* The Rojos in ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars'' steal a shipment of gold by posing as American soldiers, using the Hand-cranked Gatling Gun the real soldiers they'd already ambushed and killed had brought along.
* There seems to be a pattern of Machine Gun use by villains in {{Spaghetti Western}}s. In ''The Grand Duel,'' The Saxons use a water-cooled machine gun against a group of settlers sitting on a silver claim.
* The [[FixedForwardFacingWeapon long-nine bow cannons]] on the ''Flying Dutchman'' in ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' had three rotating barrels. How that would work with the muzzle-loading cannon of the era is a mystery, but [[AWizardDidIt a wizard probably did it]].
* In ''Film/TheWarriorsWay'', the Colonel's gang had at least two miniature Gatling guns they used against the horde of ninjas.
* In ''Film/DeathRace'', four out of the ten cars present in the film have rotary guns - most M134 miniguns, but one has two M61 Vulcans.
* Jonah uses a small, man-portable Gatling gun at several points during ''Film/JonahHex''.
* ''Film/{{Dredd}}'' - Ma-Ma proves she really isn't screwing around when she has ''three'' massive Gatling guns unload on Judge Dredd and his rookie partner. The combined firepower absolutely shreds an entire floor of the complex they're fighting through, along with dozens of bystanders, in one of the messiest scenes of a gorn-packed movie. Dredd and Anderson only survive by blowing a wall open with an explosive round. The shot of what's left of the floor at the end looks like swiss cheese.

* ''Film/Tremors4TheLegendBegins'' ends with Burt's ancestor Hiram gleefully firing off a large Gatling gun he's just been given, though it's just for fun as all the Graboids are already dead.
* The original models used by the U.S. Calvary [[spoiler:to kill the charging Comanches]] in ''Film/TheLoneRanger''.
* Darko uses a Gatling gun to try and blast Guerrero out of the saloon in ''Film/DeadInTombstone''.
* In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', the Prototype Sentinel’s primary weapons are wrist-mounted Gatling guns.

* Wrestling/TheRock gets to wield one in [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Furious 7]].
** In addition to this, Mose Jakande, half of the BigBadDuumvirate, makes good use of a plane-mounted one during the film's climax.
* In ''Film/JurassicWorld'', one of the weapons used against the ''Indominus rex'' when she escapes is a minigun door-mounted on a helicopter. Unfortunately, they don't get to use the gun very long as she escapes into the Aviary to avoid the gunfire.
* ''Film/TheExpendables3''. Caesar is quite happy when he's issued a mini-Gatling, only to be informed it will shoot through its ammunition supply in ten seconds.
* Clyburn uses a hand-cranked Gatling gun loaded with a mix of live and blank rounds to intimidate [[spoiler:Judy]] in ''Film/SistersOfDeath''.
* In ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven2016'', the bad guys get a Gatling gun for the climax. In a very unusual move, [[ShownTheirWork it is actually utilized as its designer intended (and how the Union Army did use it)]] as an emplaced long-range weapon traversing only a few degrees to sweep a wide area several hundred yards away with sustained fire, and the effect is ''devastating''. [[spoiler:One of the title characters eventually destroys it in a HeroicSacrifice with a stick of dynamite.]]
* In ''Film/TheDeserter'', the squad sets two Gatling guns on either side of the canyon to catch the Apache in a crossfire as they try to escape.
* ''Film/NoTimeToDie'': Film/JamesBond's iconic WeaponizedCar from TheSixties, the Aston Martin [=DB5=], is now fitted with concealed miniguns instead of the previous single-barrel machine guns.
* In ''Film/MoreDeadThanAlive'', much of Luke Santee's gang is killed by the Gatling gun at the prison during the attempted prison break.

* "Reason" of ''Literature/SnowCrash'' ("I told you they'd listen to Reason") is a ridiculously powerful rotary rail gun that fires small fragments of depleted uranium. To drive the point home, at a certain point in the story the main character gets in a gunfight with [[spoiler:two Phalanx CIWS carrier-mounted 20mm Vulcan guns]]. Reason wins.
* In the {{novelization}} of ''Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII'', one of these guns shows up on a helicopter. Every fourth bullet is a tracer bullet, leaving a column of fire from the weapon's mouth, leading to the weapon's nickname of "The Dragon", which is TruthInTelevision.
* In the ''Delta Squad'' series Flesh Tearer and Flame Genesis both use miniguns as their primary weapons. While Tearer's weapon is a minigun, Genesis can convert his into a flamethrower and other chemical weapons.

* Creator/JohnRingo's ''[[Literature/PaladinOfShadows Unto the Breach]]'' features the Dragon, a modified [[ReportingNames Hind]] helicopter equipped with quad Gatling guns. Another Hind owned by the Kildar uses the more conventional miniguns to port and starboard for defense when used as a troop transport.
* The ''Literature/HellsGate'' series by Creator/DavidWeber gives us the Yerthak Pedestal Gun, a naval weapon designed to destroy torpedo boats and hastily converted by the Fort Salby garrison into makeshift anti-aircraft guns. They are four to six barreled ''Gatling Cannons'' that come in one-point-five-inch and two-point-five-inch calibers capable of firing shrapnel rounds, high-explosive or solid ammunition. They're used to shoot down dragons.

* Subverted in ''Literature/StoneKing''. The narrator, Saionji, specializes in the use of a mecha-scaled Gatling gun but is rarely able to use it effectively in combat.

* ''Series/MythBusters'' used a Gatling gun as the last stage of the "shooting fish in a barrel" analogy. They busted out a privately owned minigun and unleashed it on the barrel. By the time it was over, the barrel was in a million pieces and there was more lead in the fish than fish.
** They also used the minigun on at least two other occasions: Once, to see if incendiary rounds could blow up a gas tank (busted), see if you could chop down a tree with bullets (confirmed, it even caught on fire) and blow up a propane tank (confirmed).
* The penultimate episode of ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqSX3rEuUxg#t=4m14s scene of a Wraith being strafed]] by an A-10. Also, ''The Daedalus Variations'' showed us that the Tau'ri ship-mounted railguns are Gatlings.
* ''Series/{{Wiseguy}}''. Hitman Roger Loccoco has a car with a Gatling gun firing from the trunk, and twin machine-guns between the headlights.

* The Giga Streamer from ''Series/TokkeiWinspector'' is a handheld energy Gatling Gun. Recoil and vibration make it impossible to use effectively without the user wearing a [[PoweredArmor Crash Tector suit]] -- and it has a steep learning curve.

* ''Series/{{Andromeda}}'''s assault bots are armed with ''six'' Gauss Gatling guns, each firing guided rounds.
* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': The [[Series/PowerRangersZeo Red Battlezord]] has Gatling laser cannons [[ArmCannon built into its arms]]. One of the [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Rescue Megazord's]] guns is a huge laser Gatling gun (the other was an equally enormous [[KillItWithFire flamethrower]]). The [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Delta Megazord]] has Gatling gun hands. The [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Supertrain Megazord]] is armed with a Gatling ''missile launcher''.
** Franchise/SuperSentai's ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' has [=DekaMachine=] Patrol Gyror, with Gatling guns under its wings. Years later, in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', the Gokaigers are able to summon a modified of the Patrol Striker, which has Gatling guns in its wheels; these guns are used in Deka [=GokaiOh=]'s finisher.
* Gabrielle's descendant used one in [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess "The Xena Scrolls]].

* ''Series/DeadliestWarrior'' season 3 has UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt vs. Film/LawrenceOfArabia, and one of Roosevelt's weapons was a hand-cranked Gatling gun.
* A flash-forward in the ''Series/BabylonFive'' episode "Babylon Squared" showed Garibaldi wielding a [[{{BFG}} Gatling-style PPG cannon]] against unseen attackers.
* ''Series/PawnStars'' had a segment where they test-fired and (and then tried to buy) a 37mm Hotchkiss Revolving cannon. The projectiles alone weighed one pound apiece.
* In the 1989 miniseries adaptation of ''Brotherhood of the Rose'' the Jet Ranger used to patrol the sanctuary for retired spies had a Gatling mounted on the nose for no apparent reason other than RuleOfCool, as it's not exactly unobtrusive (the helicopter in the book did ''not'' have mounted machine guns). Said coolness was ruined anyway by the barrels [[SpectacularSpinning not spinning when it fired]].
* ''Series/AgentCarter''. One of the villains has a small Gatling ''pistol''. It's not totally reliable though.
* On ''Series/TheLastShip'', ''Nathan James'' is frequently shown activating her CIWS to defend against incoming missiles.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' loves these, from the "assault cannon" on Space Marine Terminators and Dreadnoughts, the Tau's EnergyWeapon Burst Cannon, through the tank-shredding Vulcan Mega Bolter and Gatling Blaster, and right up to the Imperator Titan's Hellstorm cannon -- a Gatling EnergyWeapon ''the size of a skyscraper''.

* Many mecha and vehicles in ''Tabletopgame/{{Rifts}}'' are adopting [[RuleOfCool rotary railguns]] as antipersonnel weapons.
* ''Tabletopgame/{{Shadowrun}}'' has, in addition to its more ordinary miniguns, a vehicle-mounted weapon called the "Victory Rotary Assault Cannon", which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: a rotary gun that fires artillery rounds.
* The evil rat-like Skaven in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Fantasy Battle'', ever on the cutting edge of technological development, have Gatling guns. Naturally, they're called ratling guns.
** The Empire, being depicted as having a fair amount of technology themselves, have Gatlings too, with repeater handguns and repeater pistols.

* ''Tabletopgame/{{Gammarauders}}'', a game about giant mutant cyborg animals fighting in the radioactive wastes after an apocalyptic nuclear war, features the Macrotechnic Popgun, so called because though it is of little use against the bioborgs it can still waste a lot of regular human soldiers, called popcorn because the bioborgs eat them like snacks.

* Just one of the many weapons employed by the Jammers in ''TabletopGame/FengShui''. Subtle, these guys are not.
* ''Tabletopgame/{{Deadlands}}'' has not only traditional Gatling guns, but also Gatling pistols, Gatling rifles, and Gatling shotguns.
* ''Tabletopgame/FadingSuns'', in a universe where energy weapons reign supreme, the top squad-support weapon for suppressing incoming alien Symbionts is the Furystorm Chaingun - which lays down streams of high calibre bullets for a long time. There's also a Gatling Laser which is a weapon where 5 laser rifles are combined. The Gatling Laser is an AlphaStrike weapon, where each barrel fires at the same time - making this weapon an excellent choice for bringing down shields. Interestingly the Furystorm Chaingun is actually higher on the technology level than the Gatling Laser.

* [[TheHero Max]] from ''Webcomic/MaxComix'' is shown to be able to summon a Gatling gun in Chapter 9 "Caos en Dragonmouth", as seen [[https://imgur.com/a/Pv4P4 here]].

* Richard Gatling invented the Gatling Gun in 1861, in time for occasional use in the American Civil War (and against the Union's ''own civilians'' in the New York Draft Riots). It was a hand-cranked device on a small carriage, firing a rifle cartridge. Models varied between ten and six barrels. It may not have been the first ''machine'' gun (note that it was hand-cranked - unlike the 1884 Maxim Gun), but by far the most devastating firing rate of its time.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Gunner]] in ''VideoGame/DeepRockGalactic'' has as his signature weapon a dwarf-portable minigun. While it has a somewhat short range due to accuracy issues and can overheat, the sheer damage output without needing to reload more than makes up for any troubles. And he has a HandCannon for the distant enemies anyways.
* Vladof, manufacturer of the weapons marked by a high fire rate in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'', are characterized by its rotary barrels. This includes assault rifles, handguns, rocket launchers, and even sniper rifles. Of note is that Vladof barrels can be found on guns by other manufacturers, with the gimmick of that other manufacturer intact. Some weapons gain an additional gimmick with the Vladof "spinigun" barrel: Dahl gains a very fast burst of 6-9 rounds, Torgue [=ARs=] will occasionally fire more rounds per shot, Jakobs fire 3 rounds per trigger pull (one per barrel) and Vladof and Bandit rifles will spool up as they fire.
** Vladof turns it down a bit in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 3}}'', with their multi-barrelled options now reserved as an underbarrel attachment that you can spin up to activate more fire-rate, although that didn't stop them from putting two 6-barrel Gatling barrels on their high-end assault rifles and a 3-barreled variant of their high-end sniper rifles. Other manufacturers even joined in on the fun: Jakobs has traditional hand-crank Gatling guns that can also fire 4 projectiles per shot as mashers and the COV (previously Bandit) have fast firing multi-barrel variants paired with their signature unlimited mag size.
* The Terran Republic in ''Videogame/PlanetSide 2'' specialize in Gatling goodness. They have handheld "Mini-Chaingun" with a ridiculous rate of fire and damage-per-second. The TR's [[FutureCopter Mosquito]] "[[MeaningfulName Banshee]]" nosegun fires 14mm [[AntiInfantry high-explosive shells]] from a gatling gun, while its "M18 Rotary" fires armor-piercing AntiAir shells. Their anti-vehicle ground weapon is the 30mm "Vulcan" which [[AntiArmor murderizes vehicles]] at close range but suffers from {{Painfully Slow Projectile}}s and a large cone-of-fire. Thee [[WeaponOfPeace Liberator]] gunship's default bellygun, the "Shredder", is made of four separate 30mm Gatling guns linked together.
* ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}}'':
** ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'' was one of the first-ever shooters to feature a Gatling-type weapon. In this game, it's B.J.'s fastest-firing weapon by far, able to chew up and spit out hordes of weaker Nazis and put down bosses in just a few bursts. Said Nazis also make good use of Gatlings, as almost all bosses carry at least one, if not a pair (the übermutant in the ''Spear of Destiny'' ExpansionPack has it grafted to his chest).
** ''VideoGame/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein'' has a Gatling-like gun, the Venom, that charges for a bit before opening fire. If an enemy (except [[DemonicSpiders the really strong ones]]) takes too many bullets, it explodes into LudicrousGibs. Like the silenced Sten, it also has a problem with {{overheating}} if fired continuously, though it takes much longer to get hot.
* ''Doom''
** In the classic games, the Chaingun is Doomguy's default automatic weapon. It's fairly functional and a step beyond the [[LittleUselessGun pistol]], but one of the most notable cases of [[RuleOfCool it only being a Gatling because it looks cool]]: its cyclic rate is barely over [=500RPM=]. This, coupled with the weak pistol bullets it uses, causes it to [[TierInducedScrappy pale compared to the burst damage of the Rocket Launcher or the sheer rapid-fire destruction of the Plasma Rifle]], and its only uses are to wipe out small clusters of former humans, Imps and Pinkies or stunlock flinch-prone monsters like Mancubi and Arachnotrons when short on heavy-duty hardware. Curiously, it's the best weapon for sniping: a quick tap of the fire key shoots out a perfectly accurate 2-round burst that can be repeated quickly with some trigger discipline.\\
\\
The lack of balance between it and the other weapons has led the modding community to try their hand at altering the Chaingun's function so it's comparable to the rest of Doomguy's arsenal. The ''Valiant'' [[GameMod custom megaWAD]], for example, doubles its fire rate and increases ammo reserve and pickup amounts by 50%, making it the stunlocking weapon of choice even against tough enemies like Arch-Viles, but makes burst fire sniping much harder by adding a spin-down interval after you stop firing[[note]]the sniping role falls to the pistol, which was also buffed by the author[[/note]].\\
\\
The chaingun is not exclusive to the player, either: the Spider Mastermind, FinalBoss of the first game, and the Former Human Commando[[labelnote:a.k.a.]]Heavy Weapon Dude, Chaingunner or Chaingun Zombie[[/labelnote]], a notable GlassCannon DemonicSpider in ''Doom II'' and on, also wield Chainguns, only slower, with slightly less damage per bullet, and in the Mastermind's case, launching three bullets per shot.
** The Chaingun in ''VideoGame/Doom3'' is a far more powerful hitscan version (about as powerful as the [[PlasmaCannon Plasma Gun]]) of the [[LittleUselessGun Machine Gun]], but it's less accurate, takes about half a second to spin up before shooting[[note]]that can be mitigated by tapping the fire button periodically to spin up the barrels without actually firing[[/note]], and ammo is much rarer early on. It appears in enemy hands about halfway through the game in the form of the demonic [[EliteZombie Chaingun Commandos, the most tenacious and powerful of all former humans]], and from there ammo for it becomes very common.
** ''VideoGame/{{Doom 2016}}'' has the Chaingun return, with a mixture of added realism and insanity. On the "realism" side, the gun needs time to spin up to full speed during which it fires slower. This can be counterbalanced with the [[BoringButPractical Gatling Rotator]], which lets the gun be spun up without firing. On the "insanity" side, it now comes with a Mobile Turret option that transforms it into ''three side-by-side Gatling guns''. It tears through enemies, and ammo, as fast as you might expect, save that it {{overheat|ing}}s quickly-though this can be remedied by purchasing every upgrade and completing the challenge that it unlocks.
* ''VideoGame/OrionPrelude'' has a Minigun as the most powerful weapon exclusively for the Support class. When fully upgraded, it has a total clip of one ''thousand'' bullets and can fire them all in 20 seconds.
* ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}''
** The [[NailEm Super Nailgun]] from ''VideoGame/QuakeI'' has a rotating barrel system[[note]]very noticeable if played on a source port with viewmodel interpolation, like [=DarkPlaces=][[/note]]. It doesn't fire faster than the Nailgun's two fixed barrels, the only difference is that the Super Nailgun's projectiles count as two nails each in ammo cost and damage. Also, as the barrels aren't offset from the center of the screen when it fires, it's easier to aim.
** ''VideoGame/QuakeII'' features the "chaingun", a Gatling gun which is one of few examples of this trope played straight in games. It has very high damage output and a ''tremendous'' rate of fire, high enough to mince most enemies in a blink of an eye and deplete all player's bullets within few seconds of continuous firing. It does, however, cheat a bit: to reduce the performance impact of a steady stream of bullets, the chaingun always fires at the same speed - but it ramps up to two bullets per shot, and then three. It's difficult to notice because the sound is staggered and makes it sound as it fires constantly, but it becomes clear if you run the game in slow motion.
* ''VideoGame/{{Outlaws}}'', the Wild West Themed FPS from the good old days of Lucasarts, had a Gatling gun as a weapon. Due to it being mounted on a tripod, you had to be stationary to use it.
* All the ''VideoGame/{{Unreal}}'' games have a minigun in one form or another.
** The original ''VideoGame/{{Unreal|I}}'' has a weird one: two three-barrel rotary assemblies intermesh in the middle, and from there the bullets come out. It's unclear how it actually works, as there are no mechanicals behind the barrels when they aren't in the intermeshing shooting area, and therefore no way to ''make use'' of the rotation of the barrel assembly to load and eject rounds. [[RuleOfCool Apparently it runs on coolness]]. It has a slower but accurate primary fire, and a SecondaryFire that increases its fire rate drastically, but drops accuracy equally as drastically and needs about a second of slow fire to engage.
** ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' has a more traditional five-barreled example that works just like the ''Unreal'' model. The Pulse Gun is a minor example as well, as the primary fire comes from eight barrels that rotate more slowly than the Minigun's, spinning around a ninth larger barrel that the secondary-fire beam comes out of. The firing rate is fairly low, though, so the necessity of a multi-barrel design is questionable; indeed, in following ''Tournament'' games it was redesigned as the single-barreled Link Gun.
** ''Unreal Tournament 2003'' and ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004'' share the same six-barrelled minigun with selectable rate of fire and bullet type (slow with explosive bullets or fast with traditional ones), but there's a big gear behind the barrels where the loading mechanism should be (and it's not clear if the breeches of the barrels run through the inside of said gear), bringing back the same questions from ''Unreal''. Notably, it doesn't fire while spinning up, and the spin-up times are different for each firing mode.
** ''VideoGame/UnrealTournamentIII'' has a recursive Gatling ''Gatling'' minigun - that is, a three-barrelled minigun whose barrels are each a three-barrelled minigun, in an unholy spinning mess of pain and death. Considerations about the practicality of such a design are better left at the door. To make it better, much like the Stinger gun in ''VideoGame/{{Unreal|I}}'', [[AbnormalAmmo it fires Tarydium shards instead of bullets]].
** The ''VideoGame/BallisticWeapons'' mod for ''[=UT2004=]'' adds a realistic minigun with variable rate of fire: it can fire single shots or fully-automatic at 900, 1800 or 3600 RPM. A short burst can tear the target in two but it has a beastly recoil when firing in full auto. It even has a tripod mount that can be deployed to become a stationary turret with no recoil - quite useful in team games. It has enough ammo to score at least 50 frags if you conserve it.
** The Arkon Weapons mod has the Fusion Gatling Gun, a three-barrelled monstrosity that fires a ludicrously high number of bullets and is almost impossible to survive for more than a fraction of a second. It's balanced by large recoil and less than stellar precision, as well as the need to spin up before shooting.
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' makes fair use of these.
** The FirstPersonShooter ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRenegade'' has mini-Gatlings as the officer's weapon of choice for both GDI and Nod, with a few more scattered here or there on various weapons, such as [[GameBreaker the laser-spewing Tarantula]][[note]]which actually has a justification for the relatively slow [=600RPM=] fire rate – it would {{overheat|ing}} otherwise[[/note]].
** In ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2 Yuri's Revenge]]'' Gatlings became their own weapon, that fire a steady stream of bullets that speeds up the longer the gun fires on a single target, and carries over to the next if it's not out of range long enough to let the gun's spin slow down.
** Gatlings with the same properties as those in ''Yuri's Revenge'' were later given to the Chinese in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals''. Dual Gatling gun turrets make appearances as a standalone structure and an attachment for the Overlord Tank and the Helix heavy helicopter. The Gatling tank has a single Gatling autocannon as its only means of offense, and one of the Chinese subfactions in ''Zero Hour'' gives them to the standard infantry, making them incredibly powerful even in small numbers. Employing infantry and aircraft against the Chinese is almost suicidal if they're not spearheaded by a heavily armored assault.
** ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberiumWars'' continues the proud tradition of Gatling weapons, now in the hands of the Forgotten mercenaries. GDI also had Gatling weapons mounted on the Hammerhead gunship in the ''Kane's Wrath'' expansion.
* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'' features building-sized rotary cannons as part of the Kinetic Weapons family mounted on starships and space stations, with the most notable example being Autocannons like the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Ripper and Stormfire]] models. They have mediocre damage ratings but good accuracy and insane rates of fire, which makes them useful for fending off small, agile targets as well as preventing shield regeneration due to next to no delay between hits. Equipping ships with many hardpoints with nothing but these will inevitably result in a spectacular display of MoreDakka [[RecycledInSpace In Space]], and even more so when deployed as an entire fleet. Gauss Cannons are another, very powerful kinetic weapon system with three barrels but fire them sequentially instead of like a rotary weapon.
* The lowest-tier vehicle weapon in ''VideoGame/ExecutiveAssault'' takes the form of a Gatling gun.
* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' occasionally features the absurd hand-held minigun. Sure, it's heavy to carry around so you can't sprint and have to either stand still or walk very slowly to fire it, but that's a fair price for being able to blow up anything short of a tank[[note]]and strangely, the police helicopter in ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity Vice City]]'', which takes hundreds of shots to take down[[/note]] with at most a few seconds of sustained fire – each shot is more powerful than the respective game's HandCannon, and 1500 of them are fired per minute, ''with no spread''. It's absent in the more "realistic" ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'', but makes a comeback in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' with half the damage per bullet and double the cyclic rate of its 3D universe counterpart.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''
** The Heavy lugs around something resembling a dismounted GAU-8, known simply as [[ICallItVera Sasha]]. This minigun [[DescriptionPorn weighs 150 kilograms and fires $200 rounds ten thousand times a minute]] ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation except in gameplay, when its fire rate drops to 2,400 rounds a minute]]), and is held [[ChainsawGripBFG chainsaw-style]]. In-game, the weapon technically has the same [=600RPM=] fire rate as the Sniper's submachine gun, but fires fours rounds at a time per one unit of ammunition for a total DPS of 140, higher than a crit-boosted Flamethrower and further reaching to boot. One of the alternatives, the [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Brass Beast]], is a more literal old fashioned gatling gun that [[MightyGlacier deals even higher damage, but makes the Heavy even slower while spun up]].
** The Engineer's Sentry Gun sports dual miniguns when upgraded to level 2 or 3. Combined with the sentry's rapid lock on and perfect accuracy, they're extremely powerful weapons that can kill any non-ubered enemy in a matter of seconds.
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis 3]]'' feature an unlockable Gatling gun. In the second game (aside from the first PSX version), it is available in Arrange mode.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', one of the most powerful enemies is J.J., a huge guy with a belt-fed minigun, a later-stage counterpart to Dr. Salvador, the earlier "huge guy with a chainsaw." Lucky for you, it takes an obscene amount of time for him to spool up the barrels, fires it without much regard as to your location, and stops shooting as soon as a bullet connects with you. He also tends to appear in places with extremely convenient cover.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', there are the Kijuju equivalents of J.J., the Gatling Majini. Unlike J.J., they won't stop shooting you when the first bullet hits, and as such they'll chew off half your health and knock you ass-first to the ground if you don't take cover from them. You can unlock a Gatling for Chris once you fully upgrade the Skorpion machine gun, and it comes with a huge vision-obscuring backpack and Chris can't move as fast while equipped with it, but after a brief moment to spin it up, he can give everything in his path a dose of hot lead, and the backpack is armored.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Desperados}}'', two characters can operate Gatling guns, and one of them is strong enough to carry them around, allowing you to clear an entire level of enemies with careful use of your ammo.
* An alien "chaingun" appears in ''VideoGame/PerfectDark''. It may not be the most accurate of gatling guns (for you anyway), but how many of them also happen to have [[ChainsawGood sharp edges]] too?
* ''VideoGame/CosmicBreak'' has three well-known weapons: Large Gatling, Buster Gatling and a Bazooka Gatling.
* Vulcan Raven from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' wields not only a full sized M61 Vulcan cannon, but he also carries its ammunition drum on his back. Though notably not any kind of power source. The titular model of Metal Gear is armed with twin Vulcan cannons for surface-to-air defense.
* ''VideoGame/UniverseAtWar'' has the minigun-wielding Colonel Moore as a hero.
* Maya Schroedinger of ''VideoGame/{{Wild ARMs 3}}'' manages to keep a Gatling gun [[VictoriasSecretCompartment hidden under her skirts]].
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'''s Barret has a Gatling gun built into his arm.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'', one of [=KOS-MOS=]' signature weapons is a triple set of tri-barreled Gatlings, that she could carry one-handed.
* In ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'', Gatling guns are the ranged weapon of the Shield Trooper class. [[HumongousMecha Skells]] can be equipped with larger ones, too.
* ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'' has Gatling guns as equippable weapons.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 2|CursedMemories}}'', one of Rozalin's special attacks was pulling a Gatling out of {{Hammerspace}} and opening up.
* ''VideoGame/SeriousSam'' can use a rotary gun while running and not lose any accuracy. The Arachnoid enemies also have an ArmCannon version. In ''VideoGame/SeriousSam II'', one of the enemies carries a minigun too. The laser gun, while not being a rotary cannon (it has four barrels, but they don't spin), is also mentioned [[AllThereInTheManual by NETRICSA]] to work on the same general principle to prevent overheating.
* One of the purchasable weapons in ''VideoGame/ArmyOfTwo'' is an M134 Minigun.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', when Kyosuke Nanbu findshis SuperPrototype Alt Eisen wasn't super enough for the battles ahead, he gets it upgraded to the Alt Eisen Riese. Among the upgrades is to replace the tri-barreled Autocannon on the right arm with a Gatling gun, which is misnamed as a Chaingun in the original Japanese text and in the English localization.
** Suzuka from ''[[VideoGame/EndlessFrontier Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier]]'' controls the Jyaki-GUN-Oh (Devil Gun King), which carries eight Gatling guns.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' games have several models of personal-scale Gatling-style guns. Most playthroughs of the first game have the player first encountering them in the hands of eight-foot-tall, muscle-bound Super Mutants. The series also features the Gatling Laser Gun, and a Gauss minigun (''Fallout Tactics'' only).
** The first minigun the player encounters in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'' is on a Vertibird that crashed into the top of the Museum of Freedom, and the player uses this, along with their first major suit of Power Armor, to battle Raiders and a powerful Deathclaw in the first real battle of the game.
* The relatively obscure FPS games ''Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter'' and ''VideoGame/AlphaPrime'' both feature assault rifles with 6 rotary barrels. This doesn't seem to be so much for practical functionality as it is for RuleOfCool.
* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' features the Warthog, of which the most common type is essentially a jeep with a Gatling gun mounted on the back. From ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'' onward, the player could fire a stationary turret-version of this gun, and then ''[[RemovableTurretGun rip]]'' it off its stand and carry it around.
* In ''VideoGame/DarkCloud 2'', Max's final pistol/machinegun-type weapon is the Last Resort, which is a short-barreled Gatling gun that is wielded one-handed. Also, [[RobotBuddy Steve's]] Machine Gun Arm attachment is an enormous Gatling gun, wider and longer than Max himself.
* In ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'', the player gets to use the 25mm GAU-12 Equalizer and a [=M134=] Minigun in different stages. When you do, you can tell the developers were ''not'' scaling back the rate of fire. In-game cars take multiple bullets [[MadeOfExplodium to blow up]]. This particular Gat'ler accomplishes this goal nigh-instantly.
** ''Modern Warfare 2'' follows after Call of Duty 4 by giving you several instances where you can use a Minigun with incredible effectiveness. You can cut apart concrete monuments while taking out SAM sites; that's just how many bullets you're shooting with these things. Unlike the ''[=CoD4=]'' Gatlings, there's no heat buildup to account for, so you can fire the Minigun for as long as you're in control of it.
* During the gulag escape in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'', you wield a man-portable minigun with the appropriate name of "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Death Machine]]." It makes short work of the guards, though the relatively limited ammunition supply means that you don't get to use it for all that long. [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII The sequel]] has rotary guns all over the place, from aircrafts to drones and land vehicles, and even man-portable versions of both the above minigun and a new "Death Machine" based on the even bigger .50-cal GAU-19/A. Notably, they make exactly the loud buzz they make in real life.
** It also appears from care packages in Multiplayer, but with about half as much ammo, preventing it from being a GameBreaker.
** In most of the VideoGame/NaziZombies maps, there is a way to get the Death Machine. And it has [[BottomlessMagazines infinite ammo]].
* The ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' series has Gatlings mounted on many of the aircraft.
** A cutscene in ''VideoGame/{{Ace Combat 5|TheUnsungWar}}'' prominently features a CIWS mount on the ONS Kestrel shooting at a missile.
* The Standard Weapons of the B, I, and M Gears in ''VideoGame/AceOnline'' include rotating-barreled '''energy weapons''' like the Bate, the Jin/Demon Hunter, and the Sprint ''(which incidentally resemble actual Gatling guns)''.
* The fighter you fly in ''VideoGame/AfterBurner'' was based on the F-14 Tomcat, complete with M61 Vulcan cannon.
* ''VideoGame/{{XCOM}}''
** ''VideoGame/XCOMUFODefense'' has the multi-barreled Autocannon, a decent early game heavy weapon.
** ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'' has a few examples. [[AttackDrone S.H.I.V.s]] have a small Gatling as the default armament. The XCOM-made Heavy Laser has three "barrels" that spin as the weapon is fired; it's just subtle and hard to see because of the camera angles most of the time. In the ''Enemy Within'' ExpansionPack, [[MiniMecha MECs]] have a "minigun" as their starting primary weapon.
** The [[ChainsawGripBFG Cannon]], main weapon of the Grenadier class in ''VideoGame/XCOM2'', is a tri-barrel Gatling with a relatively slow fire rate in tier 1. The Beam Cannon, its tier 3 upgrade, is vaguely Gatling-like as well with the three spinning protrusions in the front.
* The titular tanks of the ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'' games use side-mounted Gatling guns as their primary anti-infantry weapon. Many other vehicles in the series use similar weapons.
* In the popular ''Franchise/JamesBond'' game ''VideoGame/{{Nightfire}}'', the PC version features a portable minigun, although it has been created by the weapons lab of the evil Phoenix group, as some sort of explanation of how someone could carry it. In both the console and PC versions you can acquire a remote-controlled briefcase that unfolds into a minigun.
* In ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' game ''VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo'', the player controls the helicopter's minigun for a level.
* ''VideoGame/TotalAnnihilation'''s ExpansionPack, ''The Core Contingency'', added unlimited-range rotary artillery emplacements to each side, with the Core version looking like a proper gatling system while the Arm version looks more like a rotary saw. Their firing rate is mostly limited by the player's power supply; if the player manages to feed their energy hunger entirely - a resource-management challenge in itself - they can fire a constant stream of several rounds a second. Building one is a monumental undertaking, as the metal requirements for the system itself and the inevitable dedicated powerplants are enormous, to say nothing of the build times - but if you can pull it off it's an instant "I win" button, as there's no effective way to defend against one and it ''will'' erase an entire base out of existence in a matter of seconds.
* ''VideoGame/SupremeCommander''. The Cybrans have the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7shvfQrz3fY Scathis Experimental Mobile Rapid-Fire Artillery]] which costs an arm and a leg to build and fire and has a large spread but if you can make one lay down constant suppressive fire on the enemy base (provided you can get into range), they are dead. The expansion ''Forged Alliance'' makes it even better: the Scathis had it's maximum range removed. That's right, it now can fire across the whole map. Too bad it has such a low damage that two heavy shields can hold off a single Scathis indefinitely.
* In ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore For Answer'', one can mount hand or back mounted gatlings onto your AC. Also GA's arms fort great wall, possessing two sets of two Gatlings the size of aircraft carriers.
* In ''VideoGame/RiseOfLegends'', the Vinci hero Lenora rides a flying machine with a massive Gatling gun mounted on the bottom. It's not nearly effective as it should be.
* ''VideoGame/JustCause2'' has turret-mounted miniguns placed around most military bases. The player can actually pull them off and use them like a normal gun, but with some disadvantages -- slower movement, no jumping or acrobatics, and no switching weapons. These are worth it, though, as any enemy will fall to a minigun in less than a second, and five seconds of continuous fire from it at most will destroy damn near everything that ''can'' be destroyed. On top of that, unlike most RemovableTurretGun[=s=], this minigun keeps its infinite ammo even as you cart it around away from its mounting.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/EscapeVelocity'', where the mass driver, described as "the modern-day equivalent of the ancient Gatling gun," has only an average rate of fire and its shots travel far slower than the standard FrickinLaserBeams, which also have the advantage of being primary weapons.
** ''Escape Velocity: Nova'''s Hail Chaingun follows the trope straight, however, with a fire rate (while firing, as it fires in bursts of 20) of 1800 rounds per minute (the maximum allowed by the game per gun). Additionally, it has a longer range and tends to deal more damage than medium-range blasters (and can out-damage the heavy blasters, especially against armor). They also come in a Storm Chaingun variant for point-defense against missiles and fighters.
* In the game ''VideoGame/{{Syndicate}}'', your remote-controlled cyborg agents will end up carting these around as their primary weapon after a while. In fact, because of ammo issues, they'll be carrying several. [[HyperspaceArsenal Each]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'': The Minishark, which can be bought at the Arms Dealer. Although thanks to a nerf, it's not quite the best weapon in pre-hardmode, it can be upgraded into the impressively deadly Megashark. The Travelling Merchant sells the Gatligator and [=Santa-NK1=] drops the Chain Gun, which have an impressive fire rate but are rather inaccurate. Thanks to graphical limitations, their barrels don't spin.
* The first ''VideoGame/{{Turok}}'' game, on the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}}, has a realistic-looking minigun in its arsenal (though with a pathetic rate of fire). The sequel ''Turok 2'' takes this trope up a notch with the Firestorm Cannon, essentially a minigun version of a ''plasma gun'' with [[BangBangBANG awesome noise]]. Needless to say, it's one of the best weapons.
** ''Turok: Evolution'' took it to a more ridiculous level. Instead of being three or so spinning barrels, it's three spinning groups of six spinning barrels each - that is, a Gatling ''Gatling'' gun. And it mulches dinosaurs like nobody's business.
* Although the quad, tri-barrel mass drivers of the ''Vengeance''-class frigate in ''VideoGame/StarWarsEmpireAtWar: Forces of Corruption'' don't actually spin in-game, the layout of the barrels hints at them doing so, thus making them ship-mounted [[MoreDakka bullet spam]] cannons that ignore shields.
* Like their film counterparts, the T-600s in the game of ''VideoGame/TerminatorSalvation'' carry these as standard. At a few points, you can find mounted ones, which usually means you're in for a siege.
* ''VideoGame/DefenseGridTheAwakening'''s Gun towers start out with a wimpy chaingun, but can be upgraded to a tri-barreled Gatling, then two tri-barreled Gatlings. They're also super effective against DeflectorShields, and one of only three towers that can hit flying enemies.
* Most of the levels in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' has a mini gun that is bolted to the ground and is found only in crescendo events and finales (but none are present in Blood Harvest). The sequel changes the gun to a heavy machine gun, but the function and purpose is pretty much the same. In both games, AI controlled Tanks will make a beeline towards a survivor that is manning the gun.
* [[ProfessionalKiller Agent 47]] uses this to kill the 48 clones in the final level of ''VideoGame/HitmanCodename47''. In ''[[VideoGame/HitmanContracts Contracts]]'', the gun is carried around by a mental patient.
* ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}'' features Miniguns called "hurricane". It unfortunately fires slower than a sub-machinegun and has worse accuracy. The weapon can only be used by Nano-Suited personnel, especially an Enemy General. Featured more prominently in the expansion where it's mounted on armoured vehicles and gun emplacements.
* The second ''VideoGame/BattleTanx'' game introduced the Rattler, a small tank built around GAU-8 Gatling cannon, giving it considerable punch for its size.
* The boss of the WildWest chapter in ''VideoGame/LiveALive'' (O.Dio) uses a Gatling gun. If he hits with it, it's an instant KO, though its limited firing arc makes it easy to avoid.
* ''VideoGame/{{Descent}}'' features a Gatling gun in the form of the Vulcan Cannon, and the sequel ups the ante somewhat with the Gauss Cannon, a Gatling shotgun which uses the same ammo as the Vulcan cannon, albeit dealing MUCH more damage per round. The third game combines the two into the Vauss Cannon.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork 3's'' final boss has a Gatling gun mounted on its head. It's slow even by video game standards (and yet one of the fastest rapid-fire attacks in the series), and barely does any damage unless you completely stop moving.
** Starting from the fourth game, there's the Vulcan series of chips, which don't hit quite as many times as you might expect (Three, five, seven, or 12 shots depending on the type you use), and their standalone damage is extremely pathetic compared to most other chips. They do, however, get a substantial boost from damage raising chips due to the fact that the chips boost each shot's damage. With the right setup, a powered-up Super Vulcan can destroy all but the absolute toughest of bosses in one volley of shots.
** In 6, Gregar Version, BeastOut turns Megaman's buster into one of these, firing even faster than the Vulcan chips. The damage per shot may be pitiful, even at max (five), but it adds up fast if the enemy doesn't move out of the way.
** ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'' has actual Gatling Gun cards. Three levels of them.
* ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'''s Vulcan Fury [[MoreDakka and its upgrades]].
* ''VideoGame/WillRock'' has the Machinegun, which is weak but can shoot up to 1000 bullets (its whole reserve) without reloading and later the Minigun, which is far stronger, but can shoot only 100 bullets per round and then must be reloaded.
* ''VideoGame/RogueGalaxy'''s Deego's secondary weapon.
* In ''VideoGame/TheHouseOfTheDeadOverkill'', the main characters find some miniguns "just lying around" that are used to take on the final boss. After beating the Director's Cut mode, the same minigun can be purchased for use in regular play.
* ''VideoGame/EveOnline'': Several guns in the game are gatling guns. The largest of which shoots 220mm shells at rapid fire rates. There are also Gatling Pulse Lasers and 75mm Gatling Railguns.
* ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'' has a handful of rotary gun weapon powers: a handheld Gatling Gun, the shoulder-mounted Mini Gun, and the remotely controlled Munitions Bots. Gatling Gun and Mini Gun are capable of piercing through targets, while the Munitions Bots can spray bullets in a wide cone of effect. It is possible to use [[http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/Rhomphaia/Quadwield.jpg all three]] [[http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/Rhomphaia/Parallel.jpg simultaneously.]]
* The ''VideoGame/GhostRecon: Advanced Warfighter'' series and its sequel ''Future Soldier'' have several rail shooter sequences where the player mans a Blackhawk-mounted M134 minigun. A few seconds of sustained fire is able to shred infantry and cut armored vehicles apart. However, unlike its real life counterpart, the minigun in the game is prone to overheating after continuous fire.
* Averted in ''VideoGame/BattlefieldBadCompany 2'' - the Minigun the player gets to use when riding on Flynn's chopper may not have the insane rate of fire, but the sound is definitely not "rat-tat-tat" but a realistic low-frequency godawful ripping/tearing screech.
* In ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar: Soulstorm'', in the campaign, the Tau Commander's starting weapon is an energy gatling gun.
* The ''VideoGame/StarTrekEliteForce'' games feature a [[BeamSpam Tetryon]] Gatling gun. The one in the first game is of Hirogen origin while the one in the second game is Klingon tech. In both cases, they're awarded for killing their users in a boss fight and their SecondaryFire shoots a PinballProjectile.
* ''VideoGame/HellgateLondon''s Gatling Rocket pistols. Fires up to a combined total of 1200 rounds per minute.
* ''VideoGame/{{Crackdown}} 2'''s turret-mounted (but carryable, if your Agent is strong enough) miniguns are more a case of Gatling Bad. You can't use [[CameraLockOn lock-on targeting]] while wielding one, nor can you [[LeParkour climb ledges.]] They do tremendous damage, but since they can't be aimed easily and limit your agility, they're rarely worth using.
* The gunner darklings from the video game adaptation of ''VideoGame/TheDarkness'' carry miniguns.
* ''VideoGame/AlienSwarm'' features two types, which are specific to the Special Weapons class.
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' only allows you to access a gatling gun from a fixed position and only on a few missions of the many you do. It does not reduce the raw awesome of mowing dozens of mounted troops down with nothing but [[MoreDakka raw Dakka]] from the back of a steam train as it barrels down a railroad track towards its destination. Strangely for a hand-cranked model, it fires about 550 rounds per minute, almost triple the [=200RPM=] of its RealLife counterpart.
* The Vulcan Cannon in ''VideoGame/{{SaGa 2}}'' (aka ''Final Fantasy Legend II'') is one of these, although it did not reach its awesome Dakka potential until the DS remake, where the player could finally see it in all its glory.
* Alisa Amiella in ''VideoGame/GodsEaterBurst'' wields the red gatling gun Raging Lore as the gun part of her Swiss Army Weapon. Later on, the player can create the very same gun, or a blue version, named Silent Cry.
* ''VideoGame/ShatteredUnion'' has Vulcan Anti Air unit, which is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a tank with Vulcan instead of cannon]]. Pacifica takes the cake tough, by mounting two cannon sized gatling guns on their special unit.
* The [[MiniMecha Elite Powered Armor]] from ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R. 2]]'' and its successor, the Enhanced Powered Armor from ''F.E.A.R. 3'', are equipped with infinite-ammo gatling guns capable of reducing most enemies to LudicrousGibs. The player must use caution when using them however, as holding down the trigger too long will cause the guns to overheat. The ([[CanonDiscontinuity now non-canon]]) ''Extraction Point'' and ''Perseus Mandate'' expansions for the first game feature the man-portable TG-2A, with the latter having you take one from a downed Blackhawk.
* In the ''VideoGame/NavalOps'' series, gatling guns can be mounted to defend against enemy missiles and aircraft. Larger gatling cannon (up to 406mm) can be used as a battleship's main armament.
* The first available weapon in ''Videogame/GunsOfIcarus'' is the gatling gun. It comes with [[MoreDakka lots of dakka]].
* VideoGame/ArmoredCore 5 has a melee-version of this. A giant weapon consisting of 6 chainsaws that can either be positioned adjacent to each other to rip stuff to pieces, or in a circular fashion resembling a gatling-gun. The weapon is simply named the "Grind Blade", and is, according to a customization-trailer revealed to be the strongest weapon in the game, being able to rip even the strongest enemy mecha to pieces with only a few hits. It's also one of the biggest, bulkiest and heaviest weapons, thus making it less ultimate. But it's still a pretty awesome weapon.
* ''[[VideoGame/{{X}} X3: Terran Conflict]]'' has the OTAS Venti starfighter. [[UnfortunateNames Despite sounding like a coffee]], this is a seriously badass fighter with twin wing-mounted gatling lasers. For bonus points, fit the thing with Energy Bolt Chainguns.
* Subject Delta uses a four-barreled variant in ''VideoGame/BioShock2''. Its fire rate is surprisingly low.
* Motorized Patriots in ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' are the only enemies who can use 'Crank Guns'. Once Booker has killed them, he can pick up their guns and use them himself. They work quite well on ''other'' Motorized Patriots.
* In ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol'', if you hire Steven Heck to provide fire support for a mission in the Taipei subway, he mounts a miningun inside a subway car and performs a drive-by on the station platform where you're pinned down. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMAhGRVDCvM No, seriously.]]
* Players in ''VideoGame/GIJoe'' start with a gating gun with a {{bottomless magazine|s}} and the ability to hold the button down to fire instead of pressing the button repeatedly. There is even an item that makes gunfire goes faster.
* ''VideoGame/{{Naev}}'' features several different types of Gatling-style guns, all of which are quite effective against hull armor and not so effective against shields. Two [=Mk3=] laser turrets and a turreted Vulcan gun is a pretty good all-purpose build for the Pacifier destroyer.
* In ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers II: Gun Fighters'', the Gatling gun is an auto-fire weapon that cannot be reloaded, like the machine gun in the first game.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' features the Geth Spitfire, a Gatling gun that fires superconducting ammunition. In single-player it's a heavy weapon restricted to two missions, but one of the last [=DLC=] packs made it an assault rifle in multiplayer. The catch is it's the single heaviest weapon in the game, which is murder on power cooldowns.
** ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' features the kett Soned, which is basically identical to Three's multiplayer Spitfire: a very heavy assault rife class gun that chews up enemies while burning through ammo at a crazy rate. It's carried by Kett Annointed, or Ryder can research and build it on the Tempest.
* ''VideoGame/EYEDivineCybermancy'' features the Sulfatum (actually named after French slang for minigun), as well as the HS 010, which at first glance is simply a machine pistol, but closer inspection reveals it to actually feature three rotating barrels underneath the outer frame, which explains its prodigious rate of fire of 3000rpm. Yes: this game features a gatling machine pistol.
* The titular ''VideoGame/GatlingGears'' wield gatling guns as their namesake weapon. It can be fired indefinitely unlike the rockets and bombs, but has short-to-medium range.
* VideoGame/SengokuBasara's original {{Gunslinger}} Nouhime whips out [[SmallGirlBigGun a minigun as big as she is]] for her personal art ''Daija no Kou''[[note]](''Roar of the Great Serpent'')[[/note]], which becomes increasingly dangerous as she levels up. At its second stage of development, it simply fires faster. At maximum level, it becomes a '''double minigun'''. Although it's worthless at point blank, the range, stopping power (and juggling potential), and sheer number of hits it doles out are only some extra damage short of being a complete and total GameBreaker. Nouhime herself seems cognizant of just how unfair it is and will mockingly [[ApologeticAttacker apologize]] to her enemies after blasting the crap out of them with it.
--> Nouhime: "Do pardon me." *giggle*
* ZombievilleUSA has the very powerful minigun as the final machine gun upgrade. It is very useful in the later levels, when your pistol and even the [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter shotgun]] aren't enough.
* ''VideoGame/BloonsTowerDefense'' has a tower called a ''Dart''ling Gun. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It's a gatling gun that uses darts as ammunition.]]
* ''Videogame/MechWarrior'', based on the ''Tabletopgame/BattleTech'' wargame, carries over the enormous Rotary [=AutoCannon=]s, 8+ ton gatling guns that shred through [[HumongousMecha battlemech armor]] at the cost of a tendency to jam after extended firing. ''Mechwarrior Living Legends'' has the RAC/2 fire at such a ridiculous rate that it blind enemies through sheer BulletSparks when fired [[SnipingTheCockpit at the cockpit]]. The heavier RAC/5 fires slower but punches through battlemech armor at an alarming speed - and [[AntiArmor tank armor even faster]] - and will cause [[PoweredArmor Battlearmor]] players to explode into a [[LudicrousGibs fine red mist]]. Taken to its logical conclusion with the Fafnir "[=iRAC=]" battlemech, which carries ''four'' RAC/5 autocannons to shred anything it comes across.
* ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'' features the X12 Scrapmaker minigun, which can make short work of enemy Transformers. [[VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron The sequel]] replaces this weapon with the more devastating ''X18'' Scrapmaker, which features ''[[MoreDakka two]]'' rotating barrels, with the Neutron Assault Rifle getting the exact same treatment despite not even having a rotating barrel in the ''War for Cybertron'' incarnation of the same weapon.
* A rare adventure game example appears in the first [[VideoGame/TheJourneymanProject Journeyman Project]] game, where three robots sent to [[MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight alter history]] have four-barrel energy gatling guns built into their left arms. Being a [[TimePolice time cop]], you can't use any weapons, and [[HaveANiceDeath some ways to mess up]] involve the robots shooting you to death.
* Videogame/{{Firefall}} has the Dreadnaught archetype that wields miniguns of the [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter bullet kind]], [[FrickinLaserBeams laser kind]] or [[PlasmaCannon plasma kind]].
* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell'' has the "Arm Chairmageddon", a Lay-z-boy weaponized with Gatling guns.
* ''VideoGame/{{Interstate 76}}'' has the M134 minigun. While bullet-per-bullet it's weaker than either the .50 or even the starting .30 machine gun, the sheer volume of fire rips through enemy cars like a hot knife through butter.
* ''VideoGame/StarFoxAssault's'' [[http://starfox.wikia.com/wiki/Gatling_Gun?file=Krystal8.jpg Gatling Gun]] has more ammo than the SMG-sized normal "machine gun" and can penetrate shields, which normally requires a ChargedAttack, explosives, or a SniperRifle. And it's not initially available in multiplayer, has to be unlocked.
* ''Videogame/{{Bloodborne}}'': While you personally cannot wield one, you will soon start finding plenty of old guys that've mounted them on their ''wheelchairs''. [[spoiler:Old Hunter Djura]] will also rain some hell on you from a tower with an even nastier one if you don't turn back when he tells you to. The DLC introduced a man-portable gatling gun the player can use: drains bullets in a flash, but potentially extremely powerful.
* The enhanced edition of ''VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight'' features the Vulcan laser. While slow to wind up, once it hits its stride it will drown enemies in a torrential stream of laser fire, enough to wear down even the thickest of shields. If you have the space, power, and luck to do so, mounting two of them will turn your ship into a laser tsunami.
* ''VideoGame/EliteDangerous'' has its Multicannons, rapid-fire six-barreled ballistic weapons that, while boasting fairly minimal damage per shot, ends up offloading so many rounds per second that they can buzzsaw through enemy hulls easily. It also happens to pack a very healthy 2100 spare rounds per gun. Pair them with a decent beam laser to bring down shields first, but really, enough Multicannon fire on its own will do in a pinch.
* ''VideoGame/TachyonTheFringe'' has the [[http://tachyon-the-fringe.wikia.com/wiki/Chatter_Cannon Chatter Cannon]], a four-barreled machine gun with a high rate of fire, low shield damage, and impressive hull damage per shot. It isn't as powerful as the railgun, but it's cheaper, easier to use, and can quickly do serious damage to even battleship-scale enemies.
* ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' has the Splatling weapon type. They are large minigun-like ink weapons that work by pressurizing ink, winding the weapon up before raining colorful destruction on the splattlefield. The weapon type generally boasts superb fire rate and range at the cost of the ability to both fire immediately and continuously.
* ''Warhammer: VideoGame/TheEndTimesVermintide'': The weapon of choice for the Ratling Gunner Skaven. Unlike the Ratling Guns in the TabletopGame that are manned by two Skaven, these experimental ones can be handled by a single Skaven. They'll target one character and fire at them for a long time, forcing them to TakeCover or take huge damage per second... [[TeamKiller or use him to mow down any other Skaven in the way]].
* ''Videogame/{{Evolve}}'' has Hyde use one of these as his secondary weapon. It has one of the largest clips in the game, but a medium range and a wide spread of fire.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Blood}} 2'', Gabriella has it as her signature weapon. The "Extra Crispy" GameMod turns the combat shotgun into a fully automatic four-barrel weapon whose barrels revolve.
* In platform shooter ''VideoGame/{{Broforce}}'', this is the [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Brominator]]'s primary weapon. It's one of the most powerful weapons in the game, although its insane recoil makes moving while firing very difficult.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', a massive rotary gun is Bastion's weapon when he switches to "Sentry Mode". It's powerful, but it burns through ammo pretty quickly. Bastion also can't move in Sentry Mode, making him vulnerable to being flanked.
** A member of the [[{{Bandito}} Los Muertos Gang]] tried to do this to Soldier: 76 in the animated short "Hero"...and got a face-full of Helix Rockets for his trouble.
* In ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'', the Gatling Pea shoots four peas at a time.
* ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'''''s'' OVERKILL Pack gives players the Vulcan Minigun. True to form, it chews through ammo quickly, has a low ammo pickup rate, high spread, a long reload time, and slows your character down while being held. It's also got the highest DPS in the game, and eats [[EliteMook Bulldozers]] for lunch. A later free update added the XL 5.56 Microgun, a shoulder-mounted Minigun variant with a slower rate of fire, but higher damage.
* In ''VideoGame/Titanfall2'', the giant 6-barreled Predator cannon is the main weapon of the Legion-class [[AMechByAnyOtherName titan]]. Using the Power Shot ability, the cannon can weapon can act as a shotgun in Close Range mode or deliver armor-piercing shots in Long Range mode.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}}'': [[SpacePirate Cosette Cosmos]]’s personal [[AMechByAnyOtherName Ryder]], the Havoc, has an oversized gatling gun built into its right arm. In and of itself this weapon is a menace to lightly-armored Ryders, and a mild annoyance to heavily-armored capital ships.
* ''VideoGame/TheTalosPrinciple'': The sentry guns one has to contend with are exclusively six-barrelled miniguns. Their firing sound is completely off and they lack any sort of ammo supply, [[JustifiedTrope but that's okay]] - it's a simulated world after all.
* In ''VideoGame/StickFight'', a minigun is one of the most powerful gun options you have available. However, it's hard to control as its recoil will send you flying around the screen.
* ''VideoGame/TreasurePlanetBattleAtProcyon'' has the Laser Gatling Gun, which is a light weapon that rapidly fires large number of bullets in a burst, although these bullets only deal minimal damage to wooden hulls and ricochet harmlessly of steel armour, they shread sails faster than any other weapon in the game, allowing them to cripple the power of ships, leaving them a sitting duck for a broadside or [[BoardingParty boarding]]. Gatling Guns also reload faster than any other weapon, allowing them to quickly fire at another undamaged sail after destroying one.
* ''Videogame/Destiny2'' has the exotic auto cannon Sweet Business, a gatling rifle that can pull ammunition nearby of the ground directly into the magazine. It pairs well with the titan exotic chest piece Actium War Rig, which continually adds ammo to the magazine from the players reserves, although not quite quickly enough to match it's firing rate once it really starts spinning.
** The Shadowkeep expansion adds another in the form of the Heir Apparent, a [[{{BFG}} MASSIVE]] light machine gun based off of the Heavy Slug Thrower used by the Cabal. With 200 rounds of ammo per clip, 300 rounds of backup ammo, and the need to actually spin up the barrel with a separate command before it will allow you to fire it, Heir Apparent better fits the "classic" idea of a minigun than Sweet Business does.
* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'':
** In early games, the Heavy Bowgun has a "siege mode" that limits your mobility, but lets you fire ammunition rapidly at enemy monsters.
** In ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'', some Heavy Bowguns have "Wyvernheart" special ammo, which rapidly fires powerful shots at monsters. Instead of using regular shot, it has a separate ammo meter that must be recharged between uses.
* The conflict of ''VideoGame/RedNinjaEndOfHonor'' revolves around one of these (and its blueprints). Created by genius artisans on the side of Takeda Shingen, in its first use it singlehandedly obliterates an entire army. Shingen orders it to be destroyed after this, [[HonorBeforeReason considering it dishonorable to kill samurai with a mere machine]], but of course everyone else disagrees and has their own plans. This Gatling gun is light enough for a person to carry around and even fire.
* ''VideoGame/TerraTech'' has the [=N83ORC=] Auto Cannon, a late-game weapon with high damage and an impressive rate of fire that uses the classic six rotary barrels. One of the first updates post-launch added the "gatling laser", which gives the same damage and fire rate despite only having one barrel.
* ''VideoGame/ArmoredHunterGunhound'' has a couple of variants, two of which are available from the start with the short-barreled Gatling Gun that fires straight ahead and another that fires at varying angles. Players can unlock an arm-mounted Gatling Claw which allows players to not only punch enemies with it, but can also spray a barrage of bullets when the arm is extended.
* ''VideoGame/MetroLastLight'' has a Metro-made [[{{BFG}} 12.7x108mm]] Gatling, as first seen when Andrey the Blacksmith ambushes Artyom with a ready and spinning one after he escapes from Revolution station and accidentally enters Andrey's hideout. [[EleventhHourSuperpower You get to use it at the very end of the final level]] to [[spoiler:hold off a huge charge of Red soldiers and take out the flamethrower squad]]. It's also the main weapon in several DLC levels, and [[SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity if you can nab one, expect a nasty fight with a LOT of enemies]]. To note, the Gatling is like the pneumatic weapons in that the motor has to be cranked for the weapon to keep firing, and the lower the gauge, the slower it fires.
%% The Metro Exodus Gatling is a Gatling in name only (two fixed barrels), so it's not a valid example. Don't add it.
* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' introduces Gatling gun carrying {{Giant Mook}}s to Predator encounters. The gun can be sabotaged by the disrupter; but unlike other guns ''cannot'' be made to explode when fired, as the gun's huge size would make the explosion fatal. The mooks are immune to stealth takedowns, necessitating either an environmental takedown or beatdown. They also counterattack during said beatdown (''four times!''), making it more difficult. Said beatdown is lengthy and noisy, so you may want to save the mook for last. Fortunately, the damage done by the gun is toned down so it isn't instantly lethal.
* ''VideoGame/{{Survivio}}'' has the M134 Minigun. It boasts a massive ammo capacity, damage, and rate of fire, and unlike most video game miniguns, it doesn't have a spin-up time: just click and it's already firing at full speed! It's also surprisingly accurate. However, due to its weight, it also greatly reduces your movement speed when held, making it pretty much impossible to avoid fire from other players except by taking them out first with your superior firepower.
[[/folder]]

* In ''Film/YellowHairAndTheFprtressOfGold'', the Mexican soldiers have a Gatling gun in their fort.

* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has bigger gatling guns than most examples, because they're all carried by HumongousMecha.

* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' introduces Gatling gun carrying {{Giant Mook}}s to Predator encounters. The gun can be sabotaged by the disrupter; but unlike other guns ''cannot'' be made to explode when fired, as the gun's huge size would make the explosion fatal. The mooks are immune to stealth takedowns, necessitating either an environmental takedown or beatdown. They also counterattack during said beatdown (''twice!''), making it more difficult. Said beatdown is lengthy and noisy, so you may want to save the mook for last. Fortunately, the damage done by the gun is toned down so it isn't instantly lethal.
