This video details the experimental modification of a 9mm Gatling gun to be powered by bicycle pedals, creating the 'Murdercycle'. The host, Matt Carriker, demonstrates the mechanical build process, including replacing the hand crank with a sprocket and chain system. Live fire testing reveals the need for troubleshooting and adjustments to barrel alignment and mounting angle for improved reliability and accuracy. The project is deemed a moderate success with plans for further refinement.

Quick Summary

The 'Murdercycle' is a unique firearm modification where a 9mm Gatling gun is adapted to be powered by bicycle pedals. A sprocket replaces the hand crank, connected by a chain to the bike's pedals. Testing involved live fire, troubleshooting misfires, and adjusting the gun's mounting angle for better accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Murdercycle'?

The 'Murdercycle' is a custom-built firearm created by DemolitionRanch, which involves modifying a 9mm Gatling gun to be powered by bicycle pedals instead of a manual hand crank. This allows for continuous firing while the rider pedals.

How is the 9mm Gatling gun modified for pedal power?

The modification replaces the Gatling gun's hand crank with a sprocket, which is then connected via a chain to the bicycle's pedal system. This mechanical linkage allows pedaling motion to rotate the gun's barrels.

What challenges were encountered during the 'Murdercycle' testing?

Testing revealed issues such as misfires caused by barrels not striking primers correctly and the need to adjust the gun's mounting angle to improve accuracy, especially while the bike was in motion.

What types of magazines were tested with the pedal-powered Gatling gun?

During the testing phase, both standard Glock stick magazines and a larger capacity Glock drum magazine were used with the modified 9mm Gatling gun.
