Right - I stared at this one for about an hour.  The key was that it should 
not be as fast as an automatic - the Gatling pistol should have a higher RoF.
And giving the Browning a higher RoF means a lot more dice rolled per 
combat.  Imagine a RoF 3 weapon in each fist of a two gun kid. :-)

Now - in my own game, I have a house rule that gives the second shot from a 
double action a -2 penalty, to reflect the inaccuracy of rapid 
shooting.  For the Browning, I would negate that penalty altogether.
