Design-wise, that thing looks awful.

For starters, the curved hammer heads affect negatively the effectiveness of the hammer. Hammers have flat heads for a reason. The force won't be delivered evenly across the surface, making it more impractical as a weapon and as a tool since it ends up making hits weaker.

Second, are those hammer-heads cartridges or something? Because last time I checked, cartridges are terrible choices for hammer heads. They are not strong nor heavy enough to do the job right, and making them strong and heavy enough to work as hammers makes them impractical as cartridges since the weight slows you down when you need to switch them out.

Third, how the hell does he fire anything? There are no triggers, or anything to shoot the weapon's shells. And Fourth, the weapon's horrid design makes it awkward to hold when you're going to actually fire it. And the cartridges also make it harder, if not impossible, to aim well.

On a less important note, the weapon's name sucks, it's completely cringe-worthy. The wielder's name, "John Leaks", also sucks, and doesn't fit CNR. (And in case you want to use "John Arc" as an argument, his name is Jaune Arc, Jaune being french for Yellow).

Also, you say John blocks attacks with the barrel. That's a completely stupid idea, all you get doing that is risking the attack breaking the barrel, which in this case also doubles as the handle, leaving you with an useless chunk of metal.

Hammers are not swords, not even staves. They cannot block anything except with the hammer head, and blocking with the head is always a matter of luck due to how unlikely it is. If you want to block anything with a hammer, you grab a shield, never use the hammer's handle.

However, you say that the whole thing is more than a whole meter long. Meaning that he would need both hands to wield it well, and thus there's just no way he can block anything with it or even grab a shield to defend himself.
