So the concept started with the Gatling gun, the first rotating multi-barrel machine gun, and then was scaled up into the modern minigun. That was then scaled up to the 20mm Vulcan and 30mm Avenger autocannons.
Why can’t we scale it up even further with a multi-barrel rotating artillery cannon? One that shoots 3000 artillery rounds per minute and sends massive barrages of artillery?

there wouldn’t be a vehicle capable of moving it and it would be a target large and valuable enough that it would justify extreme efforts to destroy immediately. also there is already self propelled artillery that can have 6 rounds arrive at the same time using a different propellant amount and ballistic arc, so the absurd effort required and all the issues with it just aren’t justified
TLDR: we can. it would be dumb
