How many bullets does a Gatling gun have?
The original Gatling gun was gravity fed from a hopper of loose cartridges, and held no specific number of rounds of ammunition. Later Gatlings used a stick type magazine, but capacity of those varied from 20 to 50 rounds. The M-134 minigun, a modern Gatling gun used on helicopters and gunships, has a 4000 round belt. There was no ONE gatling gun, and thus no ONE answer.
How many rounds can an average mini gun fire in a minute?
The M134 Minigun can fire anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute. It is a six-barreled machine gun which uses the Gatling-gun style of shooting.
How many times does the gatling gun fire per minute?
By 1876 the Gatling gun had a theoretical rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute, although 400 rounds per minute was more readily achievable in combat. By 1893, the M1893 Gatling was adapted to take the new .30 Army smokeless cartridge. The new M1893 guns featured six barrels, and were capable of a maximum initial rate of fire of some 800-900 rounds per minute. By the 1960s, the M134 know as the Minigun is a 7.62 mm, multi-barrel heavy machine gun with a high rate of fire. It could shoot up to 4,000 rounds a minute.

What is the gateling gun?
The Gatling gun was originally made around the time of the American civil war it was a crank operated 10 barrel machine gun that could fire up to 400 rounds per minute. One of the setbacks to this however was that your could melt the barrels or cook the rounds prematurely causing an explosion the only cure was to cool the barrels in cold water. the Gatling gun was made by B. J. Gatling. But that's just history the newer ones are used on the A10 "Warthog" air to ground air craft, and on some vehicles although the one on the A10 is FAR larger, effective and deadly due to is size.
Does the gattling gun fire 100 rounds a second?
The original Gatling gun (invented in 1861 but patented in 1862) was one of the most well known rapid-fire weapons to be used in the 1860s by the Union forces of the Civil War. Although the first Gatling gun was capable of firing continuously, it required human power to crank it; as such it was not a true automatic weapon. Some time later, Gatling-type weapons were invented that diverted a fraction of gas from the chamber to turn the barrels. Later still, electric motors supplied external power. The new electric-powered Gatling gun had a theoretical rate of fire of 3,000 rounds per minute, roughly three times the rate of a typical modern, single-barreled machine gun. Gatling's electric-powered design received US Patent #502,185 on 07/25/1893. Despite Gatling's improvements, the Gatling gun fell into disuse after cheaper, lighter-weight, recoil and gas operated machine guns were invented. The modern M61 Vulcan is a 20 mm hydraulically or pneumatically driven, six-barreled, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style cannon with an extremely high rate of fire. Rate of fire: 6,000 rounds per minute (M61A1) (this is 100 rounds per second). 6,600 rounds per minute (M61A2) (this is 110 rounds per second). On the 12/20/2007 episode of Future Weapons, they mentioned a Dillon Aero M134D Gatling Gun (USA), a 7.62 mm, multi-barrel minigun with a high rate of fire of over 3,000 rounds per minute (50 rounds per second).
