like everyone else, its a bit flimsy, but thats not the main problem, the barrels need more room to fit a green rod without it falling out. Apart from that, its not bad

I'm afraid I must agree with everyone else - it uses the multi-barrel principle, but there is no structure. The instructable itself is very well written, but it really shouldn't take 22 steps for something like this.
