Well - next time give us more time.... i worked several hours but I'm hardly finished with just one arm.
OK I'm stupid enough to try to make a Mech realistic. In case of our Bushwacker: 1t of ammunition in the arm
20 single shell shots per ton in MWO: so caliber 131.2mm
and i love the original desing with the cannon as spinal mount in the arm....
I lost lots of patience and a ton of nerves, to create the magazine - revolver, drum, helical mag - every option needed more room for those 20 bullets.
And I even decided to use PCTA ammunition (polymer cased telescoped ammunition) to reduce the length of the bullet.
Maybe I should have used 100% caseless ammunition.
Two rectangle magazines one for 12 the other for 8 bullets was the best i could get.
the feeder for the autoloader is between those magazines and should lob the shell through the horizontal shoulder joint.
speeking of the joint: i think the shoulder joint for the BSW has to parts - the round joint for vertical movement between torso and the magazine drum, while the horizontal is between the arm and the magazine
as said not finished... don't know if i return to work on it.....shouldn't have used a big caliber gun but a multi-barrel small caliber gun would have been much simpler
2h later... of hasty work...
