Look at the grin on this guy's face at the beginning of the video.
Speaking of which, I think it's great that people are posting videos of their creations online.
This was basically what I was wanting to do myself, but I realized there was no fucking way I would be able to pull it off with my resources. He has the basic elements I wanted -- a rotating feed and a feed gate. And obviously he had FS rounds in mind. I'm totally copying his 10rd tube dispenser as well; what an awesome idea.
Not overly complicated; just a nice, elegant bit of work.
Only problem is, of course, it's Not An Automag. Being a bolt action gun, that means that once the bolt is forward, you can't rotate and load up the other chambers at-the-ready.
But at least you are damn sure you're not going to have a misfeed when firing. That is one of the few remaining useful purposes of (closed bolt) pump guns outside of class-based games/rules. (I.e. pump only games.)
I also hate shooting vids, but there are a few things to note. I'm going to guess that he actually has pretty good dexterity, and probably does things like practice motions. His motions and placement of items appears careful and deliberate. I think that people with similar dexterity levels may wind up coming up with similar preferences.
