Gatling's Genius Gun Story
"It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine – a gun – which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred, that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and consequently, exposure to battle and disease [would] be greatly diminished." Gatling said.
Gatling started the Gatling Gun Company in Indianapolis, where he made his Gatling gun. He actually made his gun based on his seed planter.
