Default Gatling gun

If we're still talking about a Gatling gun, it is NOT a full auto device.
It takes a continuing motion to produce continuous firing. Now, if you hook
up a motor to drive the crank, that's different. It becomes a minigun, very
Class III. He did, however, state that he was going to build these for
sale. Therefore, the type 07 mfgr license (for sporting weapons) would be
proper.
Respectfully,
Ron Moore
Class II Mfgr

Got your FFL manufacturer's license in order?


Not needed if you don't sell it!


I believe that he needs a license for making a full auto gun. You are
correct that he would not need a license for making a gun for himself,
but that applies only to non-auto guns. It is an NFA issue.
