>>5293851Got a question QM.
Any reason we can't try to manufacture soft lead/minie ball ammunition for our gatlings in lieu while waiting to trade for finished (Finnish) bullets? They were the original gatling ammunition, and lead is easier to melt into molds and less fuel intensive than smelting down iron or steel.
Yeah they don't have as much range or accuracy, but it's a suppression weapon tunnel combat. We aim them down a hallway, maybe with a thick metal cupola or sandbags to protect the crew, and just fire away throwing lead down range to keep the enemies heads down.
