To using the Gatling fire mode to the fire accuracy, the Gatling gun fire mode was researched and it was found that the advantage of even Gatling gun. The firing mode of the Gatling weapon is clearly a turn round, several tubes firing several rounds. There are drawbacks that the faster the launch, the more the gun body tubes group shift in the direction, and resulting in the weapon missing a lot from the shooting target. There was no choice but to make compensatory moves on the firepower system. this paper the launch even mode proposed is still rotating, but it is indeed the upper and lower parts of the projectile. And the pipes are divided into two groups, and one group moves from the left, the top is in the launch state; and the other group enters from the right side, and the bottom is in the launch state. the horizontal displacement in the barrel mouth is 0.0028142m but the new methods is 1.168e-6m, and While 2000m the Gatling old scheme has 80m layout and the new Gatling gun has only 5m. The comparison with the single-tube weapon, and the even tube (4,6,8,10) has an advantage over odd tube (3,5,7,9), and it is more convenient to supply the bullet left and right or up and down.
