ABSTRACT:
A feature of this invention is the provision of a Gatling type gun having a reduced diameter main cam provided by a rear dwell increment of angular rotation of the rotor which in turn is provided by a feed system wherein the bolt comes forward out of rear dwell after the round is placed upon the face of the gun bolt but before the round is centered on the face of the gun bolt. This is accomplished by permitting controlled longitudinal motion of the round while it is still being provided with transverse motion by the sprocket.
