So let me get this straight- in order to fire the gatling gun, you pull back the bolt, cock the cylinder and pump on the rifle, then pull the trigger. I agree. Very credible.

The trigger isn't labeled, so it's actually just there for show. You slam-fire the round with the pump.

First you have to change out the ammo, since they put a magazine in, not a clip, but what the weapon actually uses is a belt.
