   What is the piece that holds the 8-barrel Gatling cannon together? I haven’t bought many new LEGO sets for quite a while, so I didn’t recognize that element.


I’m not sure what the piece is called, it is some sort of Technic piece. I know that a few of them come in the big oversized Dino Attack chopper. That cannon design was pioneered by Dan Rubin, and I had been wanting to use it for a while now.

Dave, (...) Thanks for your kind words. Interiors on any minifig-scale vehicle are tricky. because as soon as you want to fit minifigs inside, you start wrestling with all sorts of scaling issues. Ultimately I go for a compromise between aesthetics, (...) (18 years ago, 27-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.military)
