This guide details the installation and operation of the GAT-15 Gatling Kit, which combines two AR-15 rifles for a high rate of fire. The video, presented by Matt Carriker of DemolitionRanch, emphasizes the legal distinction between hand-cranked devices (Gatling guns) and motorized versions (machine guns). It covers mounting the rifles, connecting the trigger linkage, and testing both manual and optional motorized operation, highlighting the need for NFA compliance when adding a motor.

Quick Summary

The GAT-15 Gatling Kit combines two AR-15 rifles for rapid fire via a hand crank. While hand-cranked versions are generally legal, adding a motor classifies the device as a machine gun under NFA regulations, requiring specific federal licensing and registration. Palmetto State Armory rifles were used in the demonstration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GAT-15 Gatling Kit?

The GAT-15 is a kit that allows users to mount two AR-15 rifles side-by-side, creating a Gatling-style firearm operated by a hand crank for a high rate of fire. It was demonstrated by Matt Carriker on DemolitionRanch.

Is a motorized GAT-15 legal to own?

No, a motorized GAT-15 is generally classified as a machine gun under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Owning one requires specific federal licensing, registration, and a tax stamp, unlike the hand-cranked version.

What rifles were used with the GAT-15 kit?

In the DemolitionRanch video, Palmetto State Armory (PSA) AR-15 rifles were used with the GAT-15 Gatling Kit. The kit is designed to be compatible with standard AR-15 platforms.

What is the main difference between hand-cranked and motorized Gatling guns?

The primary difference lies in legal classification. Hand-cranked Gatling guns are typically legal under NFA rules, while adding a motor to create automatic fire classifies the device as a machine gun, subject to stricter federal regulations and licensing.
