Finally! The tank got a cannon! The ball feeding system is a hybrid from the last two ball launcher builds as the revolver separates the ball hopper from the airstream and gives a constant launch rate and the conveyor can feed balls in line at an insane speed.
As you already know I cannot make anything not huge and the large cannon was a bit of a struggle for the turret base plate but I reprinted the side wall in one part and that seemed to give it enough rigidity. I keep forgetting that the entire thing is made of plastic.
The turret is still missing the hopper for the balls and I have bought a few switches, lights and levers to add proper controls for the turret on the sides of the seat so I can operate the turret while driving.
