Besiege | Gen-2 Piston Gun

This video shows the construction of a new type of piston gun. This system utilizes the new "power" slider on pistons, where setting them to a high power allows more strength.
Advantages over pre-power slider guns is primarily the increased strength, allowing a simpler construction and less block count.
A few other techniques featured are:
- using high mass surfaces to connect the pistons to the spin block (spin block is a place holder for any joint that enables gun elevation/depression). Note the relocation of collider-less surface mass to improve mass balance.
- using high mass surfaces to connect to near-0-mass rotational entanglement surfaces which then connect to many pinned hinges for elevation drive. Increased hinge count reduces cannon drift, increase stability, increases time for cannon to return to set elevation angle after recoil causes some rotation. Near-0-mass's low break force is mitigated by the fact a surface has infinite break-force if it's triggers do not connect to anything, since hinges and heavy surface connect to the near-0-mass surface with their triggers.
a few things to note, as far as I know, for this increased strength to work, the piston needs to be directly behind the recoiling ballast. To increase strength more, I added more pistons by stacking them flat. Using different scales & location
I've currently called it the "Gen-2" piston gun, since the update adding piston power somewhat revolutionized piston gun capabilities. But its just something I came up with for the video. Its just a piston gun.

looks very good but it is also big (good for ship cannon)

I think you can make it smaller; I just made it big so it's easy to make.

0:49 how the heck did the pistons function turn from extend to contract, and how does its connecting point (indicated by the red all) move from the base of the block all the way down to the end of the spring

[@thanhdang7338]

how does that elevation drive even work, its not connected to the spinning block after the first shot breaking of the surface block

Mom come pick me up I'm scared
