I've seen a few of this guy's videos linked on FB-UK, but hadn't seen this one, so apologies if it's already been posted.
He does seem to have access to some seriously fun kit

Oh yes, available in straight pull but only if you have a tame octopus to work the cocking handles :)

Is a barrel of any use after such a caning?

I can't imagine so, once it's glowing I would have thought the pressure inside plus the friction of the bullets must wreck it. Standing ready to be corrected though!

Technically... yes.
If it's a hand-cracked version, like the ones in .577/450 or .45/70 that were used on the Zulus or in the US Civil War. (calibre is not important, but I list them as that's mainly what they were chambered for)
The law only prohibits automatic weapons that continue to fire as long as the trigger is depressed. The original Gatlings were hand-cranked. So technically they're Section 1.
I say technically, because even though it's a loophole, no police force in the Country will give you one.

I seem to remember Mikmak building a .22LR hand cranked gun, he had a youtube of it.

Proving you had a good reason to own one would be a bit tricky. And I guess 'zombies' wouldn't cut it with Hampshire Constabulary?

You'd have to move to Norfolk to justify one-theres plenty of mutants there. :lol:

You might get away with "chav control" as a good reason.
