barrel systems

A barrel system in firearms refers to the design where multiple barrels are grouped together in a single assembly, often rotating or firing in sequence. This setup allows for rapid firing, increased firing rate, or specialized functions such as simultaneous shots or different calibers. For example, a Gatling gun uses multiple barrels that spin around to cool and fire quickly without overheating. Barrel systems can improve performance, efficiency, and durability in weapons, especially in military or specialized applications. They are a technical solution to enhance firing capacity by managing heat, wear, and firing speed through multiple interconnected barrels.
