I'm not talking of R-23. GIAT 30 says hi... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIAT_30 It's the cannon used on Rafale.

My point exactly, and it's not the original Gatling gun, but a later, more polished model. The whole point of modern gatlings is to go closer to 6000 RPM. 3000 is almost within revolver cannon territory with just one barrel.

Take them in the same calibers, and even Maxim gun is a decent enough competitor to even electric gatling guns, which wins being dependent on specific application. So no, those are still much closer. Not so sure about that. There is a whole lot more engineering going into modern gatling guns...

Mostly as a morale weapon in several ways, with chances of igniting things. But as i said, it has about as much in common practically with the WW2 rocket artillery, nevermind first strategic rockets like V2, as muskets have with the Maxim gun.

Yes, they were nascent when it comes to use as an actual method of getting payloads to places, nevermind doing so accurately or at distance beyond visual range. They weren't nascent just for making smoke, fire and noise for all that was worth.

That was nascent rocket technology, more of a morale weapon and gimmicks than the city destroying artillery it has become in WW2. It's like comparing muskets to the Maxim gun. The general principle is the same, but the engineering involved and practical results are a completely different league.
