First, thanks all for the compliments.
Tracy, I like your idea of a front view video, I try that.
George, The shield is attached to the yoke and does rotate with the gun.
I am already planning another. Not sure exactly what it will be yet, but it will be the same Hotchkiss cage mount. I have to get back to work on the micro Dahlgren and 75 caliber Dictator list and finish those first. I also have a 1890's casemate gun to build. Then another multi-barrel gun will be in the works.
Here's a short list of what's on the idea board.. I will make a single barrel breechloader to try my design. Then I want to make a 2 barrel Nordenfeld torpedo cannon as a breechloader that will reload from a gravity fed magazine to test my cartridge sleeve and magazine arrangement . Next, I will try a breechloading Hotchkiss revolving cannon. I have it designed already but the first two builds will confirm the design. Unlike the Gatling gun, it will only have a single firing pin and no bolt or bolts.
I'm still working on pricing the Hotchkiss muzzleloading version and a speed loader arrangement for it.
