    I would love to see explanations of all the technical complications! I can think of a couple, like the barrel length, feeding and decoupling the belt, and also having an actuator that can run that fast. But I would love an in-depth explanation of those and any other hidden things I couldn't think of!

    I liked that the bullets are shot so fast that the rotating "long" barrels effected the trajectory.

    I know that picking stuff up is kind of the spirit of nerf, but I think it would be really neat to have a system that can take the empty "rounds" and feed them back into the ammo box, like the GAU-8 does. That would get rid of all the mess of the links.

One of the best parts of RUclips is getting intimate details about the build process, mechanics and problem solving done to build. I loved the build, but love more details. What’s the inner chamber look like, how did you properly solve the jamming issue, did you use a rasp pi, or Arduino, How many rotations does the chamber do in 1 sec? There are a ton of interesting engineering questions here. My favorite question so far is how do you get that firing rate without everything that’s 3D printing melt because of friction?
