    HERE is a link to the big gun animation that is posted on the RCwarships.org site. I don't know if a "stand alone" copy has ever been posted here, not sure how the copyrights play into this.

    This is an animation, but the time delays from frame to frame are pretty long which makes it seem like just a single frame at first glance.... watch for a while and it changes through different stages of operation.

    Edit: There are 10 frames in all, and it takes about 2:30 for the .gif to cycle through them all.

    Nah, its been expired for a while, I don't expect to see them get it fixed any time soon. Seems that site always has one SSL problem or another, or is just slow. Click 'Advanced' and then "proceed'

    It's so quick... Is there something to make it only send one BB at a time? Seems like it would vomit all of em.

    When the cannon is fired the gas pushes one ball up the barrel riser and at the same time forces the waiting balls back up the feed ramp,
    Because of this each barrel fires one ball per cycle.
