[edit] Article name

I'm not that familiar with MILHIST naming conventions for guns, but is M197 Gatling gun the best name possible? - BillCJ 07:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the conventions, but it is definitely not technically the best. Jane's Weapon Systems lists it as "three-barrel aircraft gun" and something along the lines of "three-barrel cannon" or even simple "cannon" would probably be more accurate for this article. -- Thatguy96 13:56, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
