The Gatling Gun is a weapon featured in Crisis Zone's PlayStation 2 Special Mode. Due to its weight, it is not used by V.S.S.E. agents. Instead, a version of the weapon known as the Hand Vulcan (ハンドバルカン Hando Barukan)[1] is used by Buff Bryant in Time Crisis II and an aircraft version is used by Victor Zahn in Time Crisis 3.
Overview of usage by Non-V.S.S.E. protagonists[]
As the S.T.F. force assaults the Grassmarket Street, Claude McGarren procured a Gatling gun inside a building corridor and used the weapon to great effect against the U.R.D.A. terrorist group. He later discards the weapon after clearing the kitchen.
Gameplay[]
The Gatling gun is a faster firing version of the standard machine gun.
