Two (probably unanswerable) Questions:

1. Why doesn’t this guy have any hearing protection.
2. What the hell is he shooting at?

Very surly …

I’m sure the Gatling gun must’ve been one scary machine back in the day. It’s very underpowered by todays standard weapons.

Notice the way he casually sweeps the muzzle past the cameraman? Put that man on a charge!
