Rainer Zu Fall:
I'm with Zill.
As said, nerfing heavy would actually to a domino effect.
Pickle:

But it is based on the fact (as the gat is used nowadays) that the gat is a far range weapon. But with your idea it'd still be used like that, almost no one would even use greased or something like that. Which is a shame I think.

It's not long-range. Long-range is the Mercury. The Gatling is a mid-range component-killer and armour-stripper. The only complaint seems to be with it's armour-stripping abilities, so any fix must be directed at that aspect only.
I would hate to see the range or component-killing abilities of the Gatling diminished - it's a significant counter to the Goldfish forward weapon mount, and is moderately effective against the gundeck of a Galleon. Tinkering too much with the Gatling risks upsetting balance elsewhere.
The Gatling is not overwhelmingly OP, it's perhaps a touch OP and proving very popular due to this, ease of use and synergy with the Flak.
Squash:
If we had more piercing, the gattling would be used less and wouldn't be seen as a problem, it's not overpowered, it's popular.
RearAdmiralZill:
You have more piercing though. It's the merc.
Letus:
I wouldn't be too surprised if the gatling gun had just a bit less rounds, but there is a line between enough...and too much with such a gun. Saying that the Gatling Gun is boss with incendiary rounds, too many removed would take away my favourite round to use in the gun...
As with the heavy clip, reducing the clip size would hurt just about every gun...however...reducing firing rate may not. It makes sense that a heavy round should be fed through the clip at a slower rate to reduce damage to the gun, let alone explain the lack of spread it would create at the same time (because it's being fired at a slower pace.)
Just my two cents on the heavy clip
