In fact, doesn’t look like a machine gun, more like an old-fashioned camera… ???

Garko in His Name Was Holy Ghost and Light the Fuse… Sartana Is Coming, Anthony Quinn in Los Amigos a.k.a. Deaf Smith & Johnny Ears, Jeff Cameron in Pray to God and Dig Your Grave, Robert Woods in Era Sam Wallash… lo chiamavano… ‘E così sia’, José Torres in E lo chiamarono Spirito Santo, Alberto Dell’Acqua in Trinity and Sartana… Those Dirty S.O.B.s (if i remember correctly, 0 kills).

Gatling Guns are also used in Professionals for a Massacre, Take A Hard Ride and Adios Sabata. Fernando Sancho uses a machine gun in both Dynamite Jim and Killer Kid.

I’ll update it with better pictures and specifying the guns some more.

What about the most obvious? Robert Woods in Gatling Gun? He kills only 1 person with it.

There are some machine gun scenes in “What Am I Doing In The Middle Of The Revolution”

Updated as far as my DVD collection reaches for now.

Excellent work!
