Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory plans to install high-powered 
machine guns over the next few months capable of hitting land vehicles 
or aircraft almost a mile away in the event of a terrorist attack.

Known as Gatling guns because they are multi-barreled, like their 
19th-century ancestors, they simultaneously fire 7.62mm bullets from six 
barrels at up to 4,000 rounds per minute, powerful enough to take down 
an enemy aircraft or helicopter, officials said.
