Speaking as someone who loves oversized guns, (just ask the shotgun which technically qualifies as an artillery piece) the weapon as designed will not work the way you want it to work.

Due to the poor balancing it will prove ineffective, the way the magazine carousel shifts around on multple axes creates a sructural weak point and degree of pointless mechanical complication that will be prone to jamming; and the barrel is significantly large in diameter than the shells so it will be inaccurate at best.

Placement of the grip in cannon mode will make handling recoil nearly impossible and it will be difficult to aim; using buttons to select your load when paired with a button trigger placed VERY close to the selector will leace the user prone to accidentally bumping a different button than he wants to fire while in combat and potentiall distracted.

There are good ways to integrate weapons, and there are bad ways to integrate weapons. Combining a hammer with a heavy cannon? in theory a great idea; but you need to do it carefully for it to be effective.
