What program are you using to render that in? Acad? It's a very nice rendering!

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Nice work! That 3D rendering stuff in the old program is a bit tetchy.

John: "I don't know."

I'm afraid I don't actually know enough about period weapons to comment intelligently on the design. It's a grenado launcher, right?

nope, its a swivel cannon with a doglock on the side as per a request. I have tried to bridge a gap between the mounted blunderbusses and later swivel cannons to come up with an early version of something well documented.

I would put the swivel closer to the stock to make it easier to aim. I've shot a heavy matchlock with a rest and it works best with the rest foot or so forward of the touch hole. Any further and you have to move your entire body to adjust your aim. I did a bit of quick research for this message and found a nice example from a Lewis and Clark recreation.
