As, as you say, its something that is very fitting for the period, where 'bonkers' ideas did make it past the drawing board and prototype examples did become reality. <br />Its a great and fun little model - you could possibly make up some silly house rules for its use; like the recoil pushing it backwards after every shot, or on a misfire or the like it could tip the whole thing over (as you've mentioned).
