No need for dreading, there ain't no debate, as per 
player's guide a gattlin' has a ROF of 3, with the 3 
being its one burst of 3 per action. The original 
message just stated a opinon that it should be a ROF 
3, 3 seperate bursts per action to make the gattlin' 
a not much more effective, but much more impressive 
weapon in comparison to a guy with two pistols.

It aint a argument against the written rule, just a 
option that some marshalls might want to take.
