1)Those mini gatling guns are popular projects with hobby machinists including the incorrectly labeled Broadwell drum. Blueprints are available from RG-G, as well as materials, parts, or even completed guns.
2)Tippmann made Minimachine guns for years, but with the 86 machinegun reg ban, it was staring bankruptcy in the face. So they decided to switch to a new sport: Paintball. Tippmann went from a tiny family business, to a Multimillion dollar corporation because of it.
I had an opportunity to by a Tippman beltfed .22lr in 1985 ... I really regret not making that impulse purchase.

In fact, RG-G is one of two vendors for such plans. Both advertise in Machinist's Workshop, a magazine with a regular gunsmithing column.
