- The phrase uses 銃 meaning 'gun', but the attack consists entirely of punches. This reflects a common Japanese naming convention in manga where physical attacks are named after weaponry to convey speed and power.
- While 'gatling' refers to the famous American machine gun, the Japanese phrase 銃乱打 (jūrandā) literally translates to 'gun rapid beating' or 'gun chaotic striking'.
- The word ゴム is a loanword from the English 'gum' or 'rubber'. It is written in katakana, the script used for foreign words, to highlight the unnatural property of the character's body.
