Re: Pivoting shooter ideas

In terms of maximizing your field of fire, feeding from the bottom through a larger lazy susan than what is in the KOP -- McMaster-Carr has one for about $30 that the ball will fit right through -- is pretty much ideal. You might not get 360 degrees, but you could come close.

I think that feeding from the side really limits your ability to pivot your turret.
