While I was watching the events in El Salvador on CNN, I noticed what appeared
to be a tri-barreled M-16 being held by a Government soldier.  My first thought
was that this simply had a fluted forestock like the original AR-10 but upon a
closer look I saw what definately appeared to be a tri-barrel arraingment like
that of a Gatlin gun.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  Am I just seeing
things?

Thanks,
