Double Barrel:
Looks average to me. Wants to be NSed but has 0 ATK, and the effect is situational, luck-based, and doesn't make any pluses. As if that wasn't enough, it comes with a Summon restriction. Really, it's only good because it's a "Barrel Dragon" monster to feed Armor Piercing and Gatling Barrel.

Armor Piercing:
Looks good. Easy self-Summon condition, comes with 3000 ATK for beating and has potential to inflict big damage. Would be funnier and better if it inflicted double piercing damage and could self-Summon from the GY as well, but it doesn't really need the buff.

Over-Under:
Looks solid to me. Self-Summoning effect should be consistent enough in coin flip decks. Maybe make it self-Summon from GY as well bu banish it when it leaves the field when it does. Also the attack block seems like an overkill considering the chances of getting 3 heads.

Grapeshot:
The gem of the set, IMO. Link 2 with semi-generic materials make it accessible. It may have a 50% chance of destroying the monsters, but nowadays that can make big differences. Not to mention Orcusts are top tier at the moment and are DARK Machine so they could potentially splash this.

Gatling Barrel:
A contact Fusion, huh. Looks decent for a boss, IMO. IDK if you could get away with an ABC-style Contact Fusion method, though. I find the last effect unclear: it means other monsters cannot attack for the turn? or the Summoned monster can only attack that turn and becomes unable to attack in any following turns?
