Tried em (Both the Tipman 1919's and the later LM7 units from Lake Side Guns), sold em!. Problem is reliability. Once you start doing bursts rather than belt dumps they become jamomatics. The LM7 also required a weakened hammer spring to be installed.
The cloth belts work the best, but are a prick to load and need to be washed periodically to stiffen them up. They came out with plastic links, which for some stupid reason they decided they'd make to take both the .22LR and .17. Problem is they're loose as buggery for .22LR.
When I spoke with Eric at the SAR show in AZ last year he said he was closing up shop come the end of this year.
Only full auto .22's with high cap mags that run reliably that I've played with are E&L tuned American 180's and 10/22 conversions running steel lipped mags (Norrell and others). Speaking of which, I heard the South Australia Correctional Services purchased some American 180's back in the day. Anyone know what happened to them?
What about one of these? Got to be Category A - one crank is only one shot!
Unfortunately no, the Calico gatling kit takes two Ruger 10/22's so would be at least Cat. D, as that's what the Rugers are..
It uses a cam system to pull the triggers.
There was a company in NZ that was making real Gatlings in .22LR and some of them ended up in Australia back in the day. I'd imagine that most states are going to categorise them as machineguns though these days
