Right, I'm having a world of issues finishing the video for it, but the system finally works (fucking small docking ports).
Basically you've done the natural progression from loading individual rounds into a tube (like a shotgun) to stripper clips (like a Garand).
I've designed it as a modular system so it can be launched flat packed and has a completely removable magazine section, so you can John Wick it away when it's empty and put a new ammunition box on without replacing the weapon
The perks of the way is the act of reloading takes seconds and since this isn't California, you can make the magazines as big as you like (just extend the magazine and holder upwards to fit more ammunition in).
I've not changed how the rounds are brought down using that probe/rcs thing. Personally I'd have added a fuel tank to it and attached the rounds together into a belt so they're easier to push down, but the weapon operation is down to you. I've just made it easier to lift into orbit and re-load.
Also included in the blueprints are launch vehicles that will get the components into LEO for assembly.
This is the base unit, containing (from left to right), the right side of the weapon with magazine attachment point, left side of the barrel and the base of the weapon itself.
It has downward pointing docking points because I attached mine to a 270t 'recoil buffer' brought up by Excaliber mission (which also brought up an assembly drone as well) so it was less likely to de-orbit itself if it was heavy as fuck when you initiate the titans.
You'll also notice it's essentially 3 stages as well. The idea being it gets up to an orbit, assembled and then can be pushed into a higher orbit ready for use.

And the magazine, double stack, with launch vehicle.

Once the magazine is in orbit, the 2 side are placed together with the structural parts innermost. It then slots onto the magazine attachment point on the assembled base unit.
The complete system on the launch pad. And yes, I did launch the lot simultaneously. It looked cool as fuck, but very laggy

Here is where the video of launch, orbit and assembly would have gone...
Anyway. Operation, in pictures.
So, old magazine empty, fresh one good to go
