The Gatling there on display was a reproduction, but yes, the guys do fire it on occasion, definitely during their re-enactments.
One is coming up next weekend!

Nooo..the one here was the small gun, the Parrot gun is Zoggin 'Uge!
You can see the 30 Lb Parrot has a much bigger, thicker carriage.
Wagon wheels were all the same size back then.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Ahh It's a 10lb Parrot!
The 10-pounder Parrott rifles were manufactured with two different bore diameters. An early war model had a 2.9-inch bore, while the model produced in 1863 had a 3-inch bore. Yet both of these cannon are commonly referred to as 10- and, sometimes, 12-pounders, even though the ammunition used varied in weight. The 2.9-inch caliber Parrott rifle is, and should be, referred to as a 10-pounder Parrott rifle and the 3-inch caliber should be referred to as only a Model 1863 3-inch caliber Parrott rifle, not a 10-pounder Parrott rifle.
SOURCE: http://www.civilwarartillery.com/main800.htm 10 Pounder Parrott Specifications:
Tube Length: 78 inches | Tube Weight: 890 pounds
Bore Diameter: 2.9 inches | Range: 2000 yards | Shot: Cast Iron
SOURCE: http://www.cwartillery.org/aguns.html
The system of rifled ordnance designed by Robert Parker Parrott is the best example of the confusion resulting from the attempt to pour new wine into old bottles. His rifled gun with a 2.9-inch bore was designated a 10-pounder Parrott, his 3.67-inch rifle a 20-pounder Parrott, and so forth. However, depending upon the type of ammunition used, these pounder designations were more theoretical than real. Parrot's largest rifles, the 8-inch and 10-inch, were known as 200- and 300-pounders in the Army, but as 150- and 250-pounders in the Navy.

Yes! Either Aluminum or some sort of stainless steel, it survived well, but not with that sheen, oils will see to that!

Even stainless can develop rust after so many years, but that is shaping up nicely, looking 200+yrs old

You have just brought back repressed memories of the best ultramarines I have ever seen. The main difference is that, while you excel (read as bleed liquid awesomeness from your brush, to let it infuse the model with realism) at weathering, the person to whom I am about to link seems almost obsessed with cleanliness. He doesn't weather very much, as it would clash with his amazing freehand. But for you, the weathering is always the most amazing part. Here is a link, to show you what I mean (warning, clicking on the link may lead to loss of time, job, and the game, as you cannot resist going through all 54 pages in one sitting. If you were able to read this whole 300-something pile of win, you'll probably be fine as long as you aren't drinking anything.) http://www.40kforums.com/vb/showthread.php/3525-Ricky-s-Ultramarines-Update!?highlight=ricky+chang By the way, did you see my pm, Dave?
Also, sorry for any derailment this may have caused: please continue with your regularly scheduled riveting.
