Just playing Call of Duty and noticed the death machine spins and I always wondered why.
In: Engineering
2 reason:
1: what everyone else says. multi barrels = multi loading, letting you load much much faster than single barrel, as you need to clear the chamber before firing again. in multi barrel design you dont need to immediately clear it, just cycle to the next and fire.
2. when you have 1 barrel, all your bullets are going to come out of there. when you are shooting the amount of lead a vulcan is, at the insane rof of 6k+ rounds per min, you are going to destroy/warp the barrel regardless of what alloy you use. but when you have 6 barrels. instead of shooting 24,000 rounds down 1 barrel, you are splitting it to 4,000 round per barrel. greatly prolonging the life expectancy of the gun. Because unlike games, changing the barrel is a pretty tedious task.
