The Red Admiral showed me a thing or two

The Red Admiral, from WesWorld, sent me his SpringSharp report for a Super Lion design. He also asked me why my gun layouts were strange (all superfiring). I studied his design and experimented with SpringSharp. I also am embarrassed to admit that I hadn't realized that you were supposed to change the shell weight to what you really wanted, not just accept the default value. This is my revised Super Lion SpringSharp report, which is still strange, but is better than what I had (I hope):
