i personnally find pride in thinking up my own design for a cannon, buying plans just seems to lazy and a waste of time, especially since some plans call for speciaty parts which you can't find or get made, while if you think up a desighn you can change it to work with what evry parts you can get or got.

I made a private design a while back something like that except pneumatic.

Decided it was a waste of time for any advantages it might have, 6 relatively fast shots < 1 good one. Not to mention the bugger getting the spring loaded sections to clamp the revolving magazine to work would have been.

Went for a compact single shot instead.

With a gun that complex you would probably spend 99% of your time troubleshooting, and 1% of the time actually shooting.

Oh, and six shots in a row means you need to reload the gun 6 times before you shoot it. All in all, I think the gun is a bit of a novelty. A cool idea, but impractical.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

You're right it's probably crap anyway. I'm still kinda new and when I started I wanted everyone to tell me what to do. But once I studied and learned how to build them, I don't want directions.
