This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Cyclone cannon was developed to fight big hordes of orc warriors threating the borderlands. Based on ancient Guild repeating cannons, but since the Guild technology was long gone, this was the best approximation. However ineffective bureaucracy delayed the production of this fearsome weapon and before it could see the field of battle, the war ended and orc were driven away. So cyclone cannons sank in oblivion and those few prototypes were gathering dust in secluded warehouses scattered through the land. Until now. Dark times are approaching and reviving this almost forgotten weapon can greatly increase the chance for survival and fight the evil.
Capable to fire 16 shots per minute, which is more than most skilled elven archers could fire, can replace that many gunners, reducing the number of manpower needed in each regiment or village guard. Thanks to ingenious mechanism, it is able to fire fairly accurate shots with controllable rate of fire. Thanks to repressive fire this cannon can bring, it can slow and scatter the enemy making an easy target for sharpshooters or cavalry charges sent after the volleys are fired. There were made also versions with more barrels, but they were more cumbersome, less reliable and more innacurate.

cyclone, cannon, mitrailleuse, machine, gun

Looks very nice but would be good to have a variation with less "woody" base, u see?
The barrels and stuff look like modern weapons and the wheels are wooden
Can't u make it look a bit more metalish?

I don't understand... You want less wood, but you're upset about it looking too modern? Wood is more primitive, making it look less modern. If it were to be made entirely of metal, it would look more like a weapon from the early 1900's.
I say it's good as is.

Because of heavy weight of that many barrels the base of this cannon is made by resistant, yet light wood, cut from nearby woods.
However this cannon didn't shoot a single shot to an orc.

However hellblaster delivers tremendous volleys, this weapon focuses more an accurate continuously firing volleys.

Finally! Organ guns! Back then, I was trying to look for something like this. At least now nobody would feel the pain I felt back then. 5/5!
