Having the barrel cluster rotate slower than the chamber cluster, and arrange for the firing to occur when the two are lined up?

10 chambers : 5 barrels means a 2:1 reduction

9 chambers : 6 barrels would be a 3:2 reduction

As to why - Better heat management than a revolver cannon (because multiple barrels) but less weight than a pure gatling design with the same number of chambers?
