Which one? The original, hand cranked Gatling Gun had a rate of fire of around 150-200 shots per minute- depending on how fast you turned the crank- but was limited by the size of the magazine- you would have to stop, remove the empty magazine, insert a loaded one, etc. The current POWERED Gatling Guns have different rates of fire- based on what it is used for. Some are still about 200 rounds/minute, but fire a bullet the size of a Coke bottle. Smaller ones may be as high as 6,000 rounds per minute.
