I decided to rifle the copper barrel and this is how it came out. I know the ratio is little tight but my system was a little inaccurate.

Thats not a rifled barrel. Thats a cheese grater.

hybrid cartridges, at last someone's trying it, fantastic work sir, we salute you :salute:

Thats one nice cannon. Those cartridges look kind of spendy. whats the magazine gonna look like? what do you plan on making it look like?

The magazine is approximately 5 inches wide by 5 inches long and 4 inches tall. It is an integrated magazine that protrudes from the right side of the receiver.

A little inaccurate?
Well, at least it works! (to make grooves, that is)

I got the tripod painted and finished the metal coverings.

Very steampunk, I like

Does it have a magazine or is it single shot?

I have to capability to load 2 in the mag and 1 in the chamber but the magazine spring is pretty stiff and makes this difficult.

... I thought that was the ejection port

Where does it eject from then?

They eject out the bottom.

Almost a disappointment, but at least no one gets hit in the head with the steel cartridges.

seriously, I can't wait to see this shoot!

nice update. that looks really awesome. It reminds me of an AA12 on its side for some reason. does it swivel on the tripod? whats it made of? wood with metal around it or...?

Almost a disappointment

Its pretty difficult to fling a 1.5 pound steel weight into the air with pure blowback.

That's why I said "almost". It is pretty difficult and dangerous, but it would be awesome. It is a necessary compromise.
