    Just completed first test on my new cannon....very pleased with results.
    The cannon fires consistantly, no feed issues, no jams and no leaks.
    Muzzle velocity was quite high at over 250ft/sec, but this was a maxed out full pressure stress test.
    They will of course be dropped in pressure to obtain legal velocity.....heh.

    That worked. :) Looks nice. How many rounds do you have per barrel?

    About 50 rounds per barrel....magazine holds more but I head for port after about 45 salvos.
