@BreakfastBullit @MattWGraver @RonnieAdkins_ I do want to try making a .22lr gatling as well, but haven't yet started on that idea. I'm sure it could be done but I don't think it would share much with the m1337 other than being a rotary-barrel design

@sklaytz @lizardmanisback That's a good question, something to preload the crank so it only takes minimal effort from the shooter, but still couldn't fire on its own. I'd assume that'd be fine if its a mechanical implement/not a motor(?) Effectively the same as tuning a normal trigger I would think.

@lizardmanisback I suspect the added effort needed to crank it in that case would to some extent offset the gain in speed from the different gear ratio

@derpycantaloupe This was the longest I've done, barrels did get decently toasty but as far as I can tell no deformation to the barrels. Since the barrels supported by the center axle out towards the front/middle they won't tend to droop when they+plastic gets hot

@DedWhaleson @MooseNug @JonJRambo2 I do hope someone tries it as I'm unable to. I think it may cause issues with ejection and the ejection port may need to have a larger opening to prevent rounds from getting stuck while the spindle is at full speed lol.

@DedWhaleson @MooseNug @JonJRambo2 Barrel mounts could be done in PETCF/other easily enough, I just hadn't needed to so far. Id estimate around 360ish rounds before the barrel mounts would start to soften. Also because of the way the barrels are held, even with the softened material, they wouldnt sag downward

@MooseNug @DedWhaleson @JonJRambo2 Hard to say, PLA obviously softens easy, but I think in terms of just doing a straight burn down, it would probably take many many hundreds of rounds in a row before the heat could melt the barrel mounts enough to allow the barrels to twist out of alignment with the bolt heads.

@n0wayyy_no The B3 parts really help reliability a lot, I've not had to disassemble or clear a jam yet. But also the delinker now comes off much more easily to clear a jam when it does eventually happen.

@ExTerMINater267 Yee this the B3 version, most obvious change visually is the handle and sling points, but there a number of other changes for better reliability. I'll detail it all properly in the update documentation

@SpiffDSpaceman I haven't got the B3 quite ready to release yet, but will be soon. Only difference to the pushrods is that they have a rod through the post better secure the bearing, like how the bolt carriers are.

@SpiffDSpaceman Couldn't agree more man, it do be bringin me joy to see other people havin fun building it. Also I should mention the push rods on the B3 version are just slightly different in the way the bearings are attached
