If a gatling is played by player A and player B uses a backfire (as it counts as a Missed!), is player A the target of a Bang! ?
Thanks

Yes.
From the rulebook:
Even though the Gatling shoots a BANG! to all the other players, it is not considered a BANG! card.
(Emphasis mine).
And the Wikipedia for Bang! says:
BackFire – Counts as Missed!. Any player who targeted you with Bang! is now a target of Bang!.
When you play Gatling, you target every other player with a Bang!. So BackFire will respond to Gatling just like it would to a regular Bang! card.

1@Hakim No, it say it is not considered a Bang! Card. It IS considered a Bang!. A Bang! Card is one way to shoot a a Bang!. The difference being that you can only play one Bang! Card per turn, but you can use any number of other things that cause a Bang!. May 17, 2018 at 14:41

Ok, thank you very much for the clarification. I did not see the word
cardat the end of your sentence, it makes sense now– HakimMay 17, 2018 at 14:42 -
2No problem! Bang! uses icons heavily for card effects. What matters for Gatling is that it has the Bang! icon on it. May 17, 2018 at 14:42
