I still think anyone would be better off buying a quality DA pistol rather than shelling out loads more cash for the gattling pistol.
Effectively you're trading off the extra cost and reliability factor against the increased capacity and the chance of getting the third bullet.
So personally, I'm not completely happy with these rules for gattlings but they are a far cry better than what there is at present. My practical side says buy 2 quality DA pistols, but for style and sheer coolness I'm drawn to the gattling pistol :)
