Wrong. The Gatling would never come close to hitting the coin. In the days of Cody and Oakley they would open the cartridge, dump half the black powder put and then fill the cartridge with very fine BBs known as, you guessed it, Bird Shot. Disregard the stories you hear about guys like Wild Bill. Hickok only made one truly amazing show, across a town square of about 50 yards, to hit Dave Hutt in the heart. Hickok fired with his converted 36 Navy Colt resting over his forearm. No quick draw or single hand for him. I have been known to hit a Kennedy Half Dollar at 50 yards, off hand, with a Thompson Center Hawken .50 Cal single shot Black Powder rifle. I challenged a guy who had a multi shot .22 Caliber rifle with a scope. He hit 0 for 5 while I hit 5 for 5. How did that happen? Hint: Technology.
