Yes, you read that right.

I am disappointed. Just a codpiece for a 10/22.

The NRA Museum has an exhibition of steampunk guns which will run for a year:

The big picture of the one on page 24 of the August 2015 issue of the American Rifleman looks like part of it was made from an old (1930s?) Black and Decker electric drill that I inherited from my father. Huge thing, but it only had a 1/4" Jacobs chuck on it, which I replaced with a 3/8" one.

On the OP video, is that firing out of a short barrel hidden in there somewhere, or did he somehow timing the rotary trigger with the electric motor he said runs the barrels? Like a WWI airplane interrupter or something?
Because the latter would give cool points.
ETA: Steam powered gatling gun would be cooler. Just need to work a trigger mechanism that only gives one shot per pull.

Pretty sure the decorative barrel cluster rotates around the single 10/22 barrel.

As big as that is, he could conceivably have 6 or so 10/22 rifles rotating. He could have decorated some 25 round mags and had those rotating with them.
