VTOL to control vertical movement of the cannon, and once satisfied disable 8, move the VTOL all the way up, (or down, it doesn't matter) and activate 1,2,3,and 4 IN ORDER to fire the cannon. This is the bare bones mock up of a multiple use large caliber weapon system, one of many I am working on. With this particular configuration it is only possible to use a maximum of 7 projectiles per cannon, as its limited by the action group. However it allows for easy configuration, construction, and use. For instance the dummy shells currently mounded could be easily swaped to a high explosive (bomb) or armour piercing variant. And please give credit if you use this design in your model, it took a long while to create and produce.

don't create and produce both mean the same thing?
Make a 50 cal ma Duce plz
@Luke92778
By all means do so! Loading bombs into these things can be tricky, but don't give up. I would love to see you dress it up, so please let me know if you upload it. And don't be afraid to change the mechanical parts, sometimes that is crucial to a design.
@Luke922778
That's what I had in mind when designing it, glad to see others feel the same!
@MisterMasada
I would have much rather either had a rifled barrel, like the hexagonal rifling in some weapons, but due to the limitations I was happy to go with the VTOL nozzles. If you try to fire the cannon with out the VTOL engine running, the shell will violently revolve and come in contact with the barrel destroying the gun. So its a happy coincidence that its both functional and a mimic of realism.
Very nice, I also appreciate that you put VTOL nozzles on the projectiles to give them spin as though they actually went through a rifled barrel, nice detail, plus it actually does increase their range.
@Samuah
Thanks! I forgot to mention that the shells had cameras on them, so if you haven't already try them out!
Awesome
