 * Oppose Nothing in this picture tells me that this is suppressive fire. All we see is a soldier operating a Gatling. Really doesn't work for me - the framing is too tight, even the blast is cut off. It is also too small by the usual FP criteria. Samsara 11:46, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Too small, no special reasons to promote. Yann (talk) 12:24, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Yann. --Tremonist (talk) 12:32, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose because of size (1500x1500 minimum). Otherwise good. SkywalkerPL (talk) 20:26, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * ...Right, I keep forgetting its length and height now, not length or height. In that case I submit that this should be closed on grounds that it is ineligible for FP status (and frankly wouldn't get it at this point anyway). TomStar81 (Talk) 06:15, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
