I actually really like the big magazine. It makes it look ummm, menacing or something like that.

spudzinger: If you watch his video, it does have a cartridge full of bbs.

Two more suggestions: its big in the front but then small near the stock. It could look cool if you cut out a piece of wood that fits underneath the gun and goes from the stock to the trigger. Maybe it could go all the way up to the bolt loader too.
Also, this may be hard at this point but could you have some kind pin that allows you to take the magazine in and out. You could pull off the magazine reload, put the pin back in to keep the cartridges down, slide it into the loader, pull the pin and shoot. This is more for coolness factor because it seems pretty easy to load in the video.

A very new, inventive, interesting, and very menacing looking device. I applaud you in your ingenuity. It took me a while, but I eventually figured it out, and has even inspired me for a new pump-action style loading.
