Must drill those gun barrels!

From day one I've always planned to drill out all gun barrels using a bit that gives the same large bore impression you see in 40K art, drilled barrels just look so much more realistic. This bore looks right to me...and it was a very tight fit.  I was waiting for the gun barrel to break any second....but it worked in the end. 

I used a 1.0mm bit for the side ports and a 1.5mm bit for main bore. I used the new Citadel drill for the job with the included bits and it worked great.  The bits seem very sharp, they dug in fast and required almost no pressure to bore a clean hole.  I did make a small pilot whole with a push pin.
