What sort of machine gun was that ?

In that wagon, where that one guy mowed down all of those soldiers with that machine gun--it looked to have a bunch of stationary barrels all in one housing. Is such a gun real--and what is it called? What would be the caliber? It also seemed to have a WHOLE lot of ammo !!

Pretty accurate too. All those soldiers shot and not one horse hit.

Haha. Reminds me how WWI planes shot the bullets between the propeller.

It's supposed to be one of these:

But it was just a fake, and not particularly accurate, mockup/prop.

One that doesn't tear through flesh or even clothes apparently.
