Suburban Almanac Entry
Gatling Pea

Gatling Peas shoot four peas at a time.

Damage: normal (for each pea)

Firing Speed: 4x

Must be planted on repeaters

Gatling Pea's parents were concerned when he announced his intention to join the military. "But honey, it's so dangerous!" they said in unison. Gatling Pea refused to budge. "Life is dangerous," he replied, eyes glinting with steely conviction.

Strategy
The Gatling Pea shoots four peas at a time. Although the two alternatives, two Repeaters (400 sun) or a Repeater and a Torchwood (375 sun), are cheaper than the Gatling Pea, the Gatling Pea saves space. Of course, it is also possible to use two Gatling Peas and a Torchwood, which is even more space-efficient but will cost more. Gatling Peas are also very good for Survival: Day. Using a Torchwood doubles a peas damage, so placing a torchwood in front of two Gattling Pea's in theory are equal to 16 pea-shooters. This may be costly, but it is a good idea if you want to save space and keep good defense in some situations, such as Marigold farming.

Appearance
The Gatling Pea is a cross between a Repeater and a Gatling gun. It has a helmet and black streaks under its eyes, imitating military camouflage face paint. The Gatling gun is in his mouth.

Trivia

 * The Gatling Pea is the only plant to have facepaint.
 * The Gatling Pea is one of the three avatars to have facepaint. The others being the Football Zombie and the Giga-Football Zombie.
 * The Gatling Pea Zombie has no visible strap like the Gatling Pea does. This, however, may be a result of the way the zombie is hunched over.
 * The Gatling Gun in the Gatling Pea's mouth spins when it is shooting.
