That is F*cking Awsome. You should make a wooden frame to hold the pump, barrel, and mag, then paint it black, and you could make it look like a real shotgun!

Looks nicely integrated maan! Awesome

After seeing the vid:

Damn its really impressive. It even looks pretty efficient. Do you have more figures? How does the loading port work?

thats very interesting. you load and fill with only 1 pump. i think you should refine the design and use co2, that way its portable.

Very nicely done! The video was good to watch. Here in America we call that a riot gun because of the pistol grip. Thanks for sharing your cannon.

Thanks for the commentaries.

To the several suggestions :

-Yes, I thought to put a wood piece to operate the system.
You mean like this one :

I think it could really improve its style.
I'll think about it...

-For the loading system, here is more picture and vids to understand how it works :

A spring pushes the balls on the left which go to the barrel with the inclined plane.
(the magazine is located on more on the left in normal use)

For the grip, I was inspired by the SPAS-12 :

Very impressive, especially the way you combined the ammunition reloading motion with chamber filling. Shame that it (understandably) seems a little low on power, given the construction I think you can afford to up the pressure though, it could proabably take unregulated CO<sub>2</sub> :D

I like how simplistic everything works...

Really.. a ballbalve on a stick would never have come to my mind...
