Empress do a nice British one, as do the Perry's. Artizan designs do a great US one that is chunkier than the others. Depends what you want.

The BTD one isn't bad and it's fairly cheap.

Except of course that is a brand new Browning, not a Gatling.

Mapache hired the Wild Bunch to steal the latest state-of-the-art American toys for him to play with (and show to his German buddies who wanted to get a good look at them). He would have been decidedly unimpressed if they had tried to fob him off with a 60-year-old hand-cranked machine gun prone to jamming, on an unwieldy artillery carriage to boot.  :)

It would however be perfect for a "Vera Cruz"-style re-imagining of the Wild Bunch set during the Mexican Adventure of the 1860s, rather than the Mexican Revolution. Could be a fun game in that.

Bugger finding a working Colt Potato Digger or a Benet Mercie even in the late 'sixties I would have thought.
