The cannon won’t have a detachable magazine, instead it’ll use an eight round internal box.
I’m going to have extension springs on the follower because I don’t have the money to buy, nor the skills to make, a compression spring big enough.

Buy the way, I’m not going to fix the GAR1, nor am I going to make the 1.50 cannon, instead I’m going to make a new prototype in .75cal because I’ve got a LOT of fitting for ¾” and I’ve got a ¾ inch porting “tee” valve that actually sort of works, or it did last time I used it. :) Yeah, I have the worst luck with valves…

So watch this space for the GAR2! Give me about two weeks though as I start back to school tomorrow.
Call me "Judge", it's easier to type.
