> So? This isn't a historical boat. I know. I just commented on your claim that British Gatlings or even Gatlings as a whole were commonly in .58-calibre, or that .58-calibre cartridges somehow were more commonly used than .45 with the British.
>It's the feel that matters. The "feel" is wrong, if it is to be based on facts at least. The .577 Snider was official frontline issue only in 1867-1874 (and removed entirely in 1885), merely a transitional period between the .577 Enfield P/1853 muzzleloader and a "modern" breechloading rifle. For most of the Victorian (read: STEAMPUNK) era, the British used .45-calibre cartridges: the .450 Martini-Henry in rifles and some machine guns, and the .450 Gardner-Gatling in most of the other machine guns.
