1: Slingshot Shotgun: A slingshot that fires several rods from a box. To load the gun, you cock it by pulling back the box with handles (one for each hand), then drop several rods into the box and pull the trigger to fire. The box has guides sticking out of it that go into slits in the gun. The bottom guide is stopped by the trigger when cocked. -by Oblivitus
2: Auto-Fire Pump Action: A pump action with a string attaching the pump to the trigger. When the pump is pushed all the way forward, the trigger is pulled and thus the gun fires itself. This allows for a higher rate of fire because it eliminates human reaction time and instead fires instantaneously. -by Oblivitus
3: MG 554: Could be a machine gun or a shotgun depending on how you build it and how fast that makes it fire (probably would be a shotgun). To cock it, a long, internal rectangular pin is pulled back. When the trigger is pulled, it rotates a gear, and a gear is rotated in the opposite direction by the first, which then rotates a tire (which has treads for friction) on a different layer, but is attached to the same rotation point as the second gear mentioned. The tire will rotate at the same rate of speed as the movement of the rectangular pin. This rotation will fire gray connectors from a magazine by pushing them out at high speeds. Gear ratios should be used to achieve maximum rotation speed while still maintaining sufficient torque (because the speed of rotation determines the range of the projectiles). -by Oblivitus
