Actually it's not too far from Milkor's MGL:

Not the right Crane style stock and the vent holes in the RAS are too narrow, but the outline isn't too far off. The tube above the carousel looks like it's intended to pivot the rear grip to open the carousel like the real deal.
I really enjoyed handling the the real thing at ShotShow. The angle adjustable stock is a nice feature for shooting very high angle. It rocks the inclined sight into an ergonomic position while keeping the stock shouldered to absorb recoil just in case you feel like you need to doubletap a couple 40mm rounds into a sedan window at 200yd.
Apparently a practiced individual is supposed to reliably land a shot into a target the size of a car side window at 200yd with their recommended sight. I'm guessing that the target conditions don't require a significant change in elevations, but that's a pretty neat shot for such an odd projectile. Their engineering guy said that nearly all of the thrust comes from time the projectile spends in the carousel. There is too much cross leakage around the carousel to drive the round significantly in the barrel. All the barrel does is spin the projectile for stability. All the thrust is in the inch or two of push out of the carousel.
