    Two (probably unanswerable) Questions:

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

    And why does he seem so surly?!

    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.

    Every evil has a small beginning.

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