earlier me and my buddy Sean headed out
to Utah check out a civil war-era
Gatling gun
these guns are the holy grail for
collectors so we're really hoping we're
not too late and it hasn't been putting
in Nashik okay general store where the
guns I own Pioneer market we like guns
of all kinds we especially like the old
guns all right so the real reason why we
came up here is we heard that there
might be a Gatling gun available where
did you hear that a little birdie told
me well we do have one would you like to
see it it's kind of over here on the
other end of the store absolutely that's
amazing it's a Colt Gatling gun marked
1883 model it's in almost perfect
condition this is almost like factory
mint yeah I'm almost speechless here it
does kind of tend to leave a guy
speechless this is beautiful this is an
amazing shape you have a national
treasure sitting here I know it is so to
your knowledge has this ever been
restored is there any replacement parts
all original
all original Oh God God got all of your
original markings cold Hartford
Connecticut Gatling gun patented model
1883 this is the magazine holds 105
rounds
Parker just go down into here this fires
as fast as you turn the crank up to 750
rounds per minute
unreal oh my god
we have a mounted in the store on the
tripod because the carriage mount won't
fit through the doors with the two
wooden spoke wheels the original
carriage yes it's the original pair my
god this against better perfect
condition as well here is the real deal
I've always wanted to get up close and
personal with one of these and check it
out this is at the pinnacle of
perfection of its kind all right so
you're selling this how much you ask him
one almost identical to this sold at an
auction in Texas two years ago for three
hundred and thirty five thousand and
that's what I'm going to ask for mine
okay this Gatling gun is is probably
more valuable than most a lot of people
would say well the price of guns has
gone down the economy's not doing very
well
well this isn't a gun for the regular
person in the economy if you're serious
buyers if you guys are interested in
buying this we can take it out and shoot
it yeah we're interesting okay I can't
believe this guy is actually gonna let
us fire his Gatling gun I mean how many
people alive today have actually shot
one of these things this is so cool
amazing once this thing was cranking
anything in its path was going down what
twenty you guys wants to fire this baby
me me I thought I was your friend this
is a once in a lifetime opportunity for
me I got to do it as far as in my
industry the Gatling gun is the king
there are so few of them that exist and
more so of a rarity one that is actually
in fireable condition I am way beyond
excited well we got some water jugs
we got them sat out there at a hundred
yards and I think it's gonna work really
good all right
try and aim it the damage that this
thing would inflict was pretty enormous
take over
[Music]
it was amazing I fired off 50 rounds in
like three seconds I'm shaking if I can
work out a decent price you're damn
right I'm gonna buy it
alright so after shooting this thing I'm
just dying to know what do you have to
have out of the Gatling gun the Gatling
gun has got to be three hundred and
thirty five thousand are you open to
offers on that are you just not gonna
budge
that's a piece of history and I got a
hole tied on that it's got to be three
hundred thirty-five thousand I have the
Gatling gun on a on a very high pedestal
it may be the ultimate gun I mean I
don't mean to insult you but I'll give
you 200 grand well that's too low of an
offer I'll tell you what I can go up to
220 thousand that's it yeah it's a lot
of money you bring this thing to auction
and they charge you 30% that's $100,000
so we're actually closer than you think
that's a fair offer but I think I'm
gonna have to pass okay I understand
well at least you tried
yeah I got a try
you
