I hope this doesn't come off as harsh but...
I can see the confusion and ammo feed issues still stand.
opps sorry didn't realise you ment electric feed.
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).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
