If the Gatling Gun gets a jam in one barrel, that's pretty catastrophic, IMO. You shorten an already slow rate of fire with one less barrel, which is pretty much the only thing the weapon has going for it. And just because a weapon is belt fed does not make it prone to jamming - even assuming you're right though, it won't make much of a difference. A jam in the Browning is a simple matter of a spent case getting stuck in the barrel or the belt getting bent while being fed in - that's easy to clear. The jams in the Gatling Gun will require much more intensive maintenance because it's an older, more complex weapon. On top of that, the ridiculously extreme range, rate of fire, and ease of use advantages that the Browning have should more than make up for anything else that would hold it back.
