Possible Modern 21st century Weapons in WW2

I hope this doesn't come off as harsh but...

Eh, I'm not in love with WW2 level battery and feeding technology in regards to that. Weight was at a severe premium; plus the forces from a gatling in a propeller driven aircraft would probably severely alter flight characteristics during firing... probably a non starter until the airplanes have a lot more power, and the guns can be made from lighter alloys

They definently could be fitted on ships cruiser and larger though... having them be electrically fed is a bitch though in ww2 ships; since they could have their power knocked out if you gave them a bad look... look at all the problems the US had with the 40mm's on the south dakota's because of that
I belive hes refering to the Gast(double barrel gas operated machine gun, doesn't require electricity iirc) not the Gauss(sequentially magneticly propelled device).
I can see the confusion and ammo feed issues still stand.:eek:

opps sorry didn't realise you ment electric feed.
