Animatronic Wonderland

Should've made this a multi chapter post originally, but I never thought there would be more chapters to this M230 story. Due to many requests, I'm now adding a recoil action to the already complex chain gun. The challenge is obviously space constraint- this is 1/9 scale. The gun body already houses an embedded pitch servo, so the reciprocating mechanism has to be super compact. It is made of a motor pinion that strikes an inclined plane, pushing front part forward and pulled back by a spring. Pretty pleased with the result.
