Gatling Laser Holdout
The Gatling Laser is a craftable Hardmode magic gun. When used, the gun has a short load period before a barrage of fast but inaccurate red lasers are fired at a massively rapid rate. The laser creates a tiny visual explosion on hit.
The weapon consumes 0.0075 units of charge for each frame the weapon is held (totaling 0.015 units of charge per use) and has a maximum charge of 135. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge for 5 minutes.
Its best modifier is Mythical. However, the weapon's use time will not be affected.

Tips
- The Gatling Laser has a deceptively high mana cost due to its high fire rate and will take enormous amounts of mana to fire continuously. As such, the Astral Injection is a great tool to allow for sustained fire, without crippling the player's damage with the Mana Sickness debuff.
Trivia
- The Gatling Laser is a reference to the weapon of the same name from the Fallout series and uses the same firing sound effect.
