Sure, why not ?
As for buying and owning one; nope. Impractical. Interesting engineering project, but what for ? Too heavy, too bulky, too slow rate of fire, possibly less than safe the way he described the trigger sear release on loading.
But damned interesting.

I like those remington 700 muzzleloaders. I think they were originally made for people to hunt during muzzleloading season but still have good accuracy. I used to shoot one of those in Canada but I prefer smoothbore flintlocks or matchlocks.

The club of shoulder fired artillery is sure getting big. That would drop an Elephant Quick.

Detached retinas are overrated.

Rapid fire must be difficult.......
But I suppose you'd need the time to remove the bolt and recoup from the shot anyway.
Not me.
Talk about a 'Rotator cuff' injury.

btw anyone know what is the use of balistic faceplate, it sure doesnt stop bullets.

Stops pieces from a material failure in the gun.

Some of them can, though pistol caliber rounds only, as well as fragments.
