I love this gun and I'm not critacising but I have two suggestions, either
leave off the bush'es and leave the axles for barrels (like I used to do) or
a much better idea is to use the technic barrel piece (75535 Technic Pin
Joiner Round) in either black or grey.

This would give you a realistic round barrel with an open end if you built
it right. You may have already thought of it but simply not had the parts
available. I have already used mine for both a truck exhaust and a tank
barrel. I used black connector pegs to connect it all together. You get ten
in the technic recovery truck.

I know I said I wouldn't post lame updates on the progress of my newest model, but I thought this one was more than worthy...
