I watched the video and the misfires seem likely to be caused a sequencing issue. Are you using a slip ring assembly at all for a timing sequence? Or is a possibly a regulator problem?

Still, one heck of a wicked looking gat!

I am impressed at the quality of workmanship and igenuity!

Kudos

Most of videos doesn't work. Can you reupload videos, because I want to look at that amazing gun in action.
