Gatling gun? Or what?

Is Super Good Advice supposed to be a gatling gun? The weapon absolutely does have three barrels, and they are set up in the balanced configuration that is seen in gatling guns and vulcan cannons. However, I doesn't look like there is the rotating hardware on the weapon to feature rotating barrels. With a weapon that can fire for a minute straight, it would make sense to have multiple barrels. In fact, all machine guns that feature a single barrel have to have that barrel changed after sustained fire. But those extra barrels are never carried on the weapon though -they're too heavy. So what is up with SGA? I know the barrels don't spin in the game, but I am sure their presence is connected to the gun's ability to sustain heavy fire for extended periods. I can't imagine any other reason why they would be there, or why they would be configured in the gatling style. Any one have any ideas? [spoiler]*Edit* Maybe the barrels don't spin mechanically, but rotate nonetheless via space-magic teleportation? If the gun can magic missed bullets back into the magazine, it can probably magically teleport the barrels in a rotating fashion... [/spoiler]

  • It does spin. It's just do good that it spins faster than the eye can keep up with. Much like a tire on the road (rotation flips, and at a high speed almost stops). If something moves fast enough it stands still or disappears entirely.
