ABSTRACT:
A Gatling-type gun is disclosed having a cam plate with a plurality of transversely elongated, gun-barrel receiving cam slots to guide the distal ends of the respective gun barrels. Each distal end of the gun barrel is free within the length of its cam slot, but does remain in a neutral position in said slot when the gun is not firing. During firing, gun vibration, centrifugal force and recoil motion combine to produce an apparently random cantilevered movement of the distal end of the gun barrel within the length of its slot and, thus a random barrel dispersion.
