The  Gatling Gun is a small, compact weapon in Space Engineers that can be attached to a small grid, allowing it to fire small projectiles in rapid succession. A Gatling Gun fires at 700 RPM effective rate of fire, which is the highest rate and only rivalled by the Gatling Turret and the (large) Interior Turret. The projectiles cause 90 impact damage to blocks upon contact.

Usage

To operate the Gatling Gun, press the "G" key to open the hotbar menu, switch to the Weapons and Tool section, and drag the Gatling Gun icon to the hotbar. LMB (Left Mouse Button) fires the gun, RMB (Right Mouse Button) currently has no function.

The trajectory is affected by a significant bullet drop in gravity.

Due to lag in multiplayer games, Gatling Guns may burn out if the game considers the bullets fired to hit the gun itself. This can be prevented by shooting when the ship isn't moving or is moving backward.

Construction

The kinetic force of the fired bullets applies to your ship (recoil) just as Newton's laws say it will. Beware when building; Gatling Guns should be mounted either centered or symmetrically. Misplaced guns makes flying and shooting in a straight line almost impossible (and very dangerous). Template:Verification

Inventory/Ammunition

Gatling Guns have an inventory which can hold a volume of 64L (with Realistic World Settings). It will accept Gatling Ammo Boxes, of which it can hold four.

Power

The Gatling Gun consumes 200 W of power when placed on small ships. It can be turned off using either the control panel or by grouping the guns together and saving them as a group and then using "G" to drag the group to your hot bar and select "Toggle Block". If you want to turn it off on the exterior you can do the same just with a button panel rather than the "G" menu.
