Ever had a hankering for a legal machine gun but couldn’t be bothered to go through all that paperwork? How about a reproduction 1877 Gatling Gun shooting .45-.70 Government? High rate of fire AND aerobic exercise. Sure it’s north of $30k, but talk about a home defense weapon. Provided you have only one entrance/exit to protect. Unless you buy a couple.

    The Gatling gun was invented by Dr. Richard Gatling – a dentist - in 1861. :D
