Oh, what a happy little question! Larry Gatlin, the Country Music singer, is not related to Richard Gatling, the inventor of the Gatling gun. It's just a coincidence they share the same last name, like two trees standing tall in the same forest but not from the same seed. Isn't that just wonderful?
Mechanical
The inventor of the Gatling gun was Richard Jordan Gatling. The machine gun- like weapon was named after the inventor. He invented it in 1862.
