An attempt on a LEGO® MINDSTORMS Gatling Gun
Some time ago, I got hold on a couple of the Technic Competition Cannons and pondered about a usage of them in a model. As I always had plans to try for a LEGO® Gatling Gun, I decided to make an attempt on it:

He said they are "new".
From the still picture, I thought your gatling gun would spin around and the triggers would just hit something on their way around to achieve a rapid fire, instead of using another motor to hit the triggers (although that looks cool and more controlled). Did you consider this?
i still thnk a gattling cannon should be able to reload autonomous. this is possible!
you've got another motor left.
its kinda hard to explain. i don't have cannons to test it though
of course you are completely right - the second motor is not required, instead the rotation device could have a trigger that activates the firing mechanism on passing by.
This is just a first version of the gun, though - one day I might return to it and enhance it.
