There were really huge boat-mounted shotguns in real life, known as punt guns (because they were meant to be mounted on a type of small boat called a punt). They were meant for use in large-scale commercial duck hunting; because of their massive size, they could swat whole flocks of ducks out of the air at once, at the cost of being too big for practical use (as in, twice as long as the user is tall) when not attached to the boat. A sawn-off punt gun would be an . . . _interesting_ concept for a video game gun.

Comment on the grenade launcher reload, the game wasn't made to be seen at certain fields of view, so I believe the intended effect of the reload is you change out the whole backend (though that would be very cumbersome).

So the thing about the Bioshock 1 grenade launcher reload is that it is indeed fudged. But originally, it wasn't as visible. What we're seeing is footage on modern systems, likely in the remasters, where the animations were not designed for the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. On the old 4:3 aspect ratio that Bioshock was made for, the back piece of the launcher would go fully off screen to indicate that you swapped out the receiver for one using different grenades/launching systems.

I could see how the revolver expansion might work. If it replaces the revolver cylinder with a sort of "bullet carousel" that rotates fresh bullets along the bottom, to the barrel, fires, and then ejects them as it passes to the right of the barrel, then it _might_ work, the issue is that it wouldn't use the traditional engineering to advance the rounds, you'd need some entirely separate mechanism to do that, which I think is what that gear and handle thing does? I expect you could make one of these that works using modern motors and batteries or something, I have no idea whether it'd be possible using more basic gears and springs and the forces of bullets firing and thumbs cocking things though.

9:18 I always assumed that this was a bug. In some games, when the FOV is extended, the reload animations don't look right. An instance is CoD, where a lot of pistols simply reused the mag when it was off screen. I assume they bumped up the FOV after they made the weapon, and forgot to adjust for the FOV on it's animations.

I suggest he takes a look at Boundary. It's a really neat FPS that takes place in space, with some guns that are basically normal ones modified for space use, and other rather interesting but realistic seeming designs that also make a lot of sense. I bet he'd think the designs are very cool and might have some fascinating input.

request: squad has a bunch of new guns from various factions (marines, PLA) and I think it would be interesting to do a follow up

As others pointed out, the reason why the second game have all these massive weapons being held as a one-handed weapon is because the character you play as is essentially a bio-engineered Terminator twice the size of an average man. Hence why he doesn't even flinched firing a gatling gun with one hand, seeing as his arm is like a steel beam in of itself.
