Wouldn't a cannon made from the 3x3 medium technic pulley be a bit too
large for minifig scale?
How about simply using a single black technic axle? It doesn't have six
edges, but it has four, which may give the correct impression.
Or have I seriously misconceived the size of the gun? I'm not really an
aviation buff, but I was thinking that the gun was a six barrel 20mm,
which isn't _that_ large... I think.
I agree that the A10 really lends itself to LEGO modelling. But I think
I would aim for slightly larger-than-minifig-scale to be able to capture
the details better.
