So, it seems what you're saying is that these metal balls are the ammo. Meaning, that you're using a soul gem to telekinesis these metal balls at high speeds out of the gun. So, given that, the gun needs to be loaded with ammo and a soul gem. Now, one problem that springs to mind is if the ball is only slightly mal-alligned, the gun will go flying out of the user's hands. Of course, this is easily remedied if the gem just causes a small fireball, so that part is moot. But, is this all right, so far? well, here's the thing, first concept will probably use spherical ammunition, seeing as this is basically some kinda automated musket design atm. Automated as in, you only gotta load the sphere into the barrel to load it from the muzzle. Design idea is not good enough to use conventional bullet shapes as is atm.

Edit due to recent thought from re reading after positng: Could also use some really large bullet shaped slugs that are either pencil sized or the diameter of a regular musket ball but just longer... but I think the spherical bullet will work best for now.
