Putting this under ideas, since it's something I've been thinking about a bit, but dunno if I'll bother making one.
What triggered me to thinking about it more was this video:

Basically, USB-C supports multiple voltages including 12V and 5V, and pretty high current levels.
Seems like it should be possible to make a supergun with two USB-C ports as input for power.
Basically, get a fancy charger like this:
https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-100W-USB-Multiport-Charger/dp/B091Z6JNX4
Use port1 to 5V, port 2 for 12V.
This will give 9A at 5V, 2.5A as 12V, which should be sufficient for most hardware.
Then just get two trigger modules, and jumper one for 5V and one for 12V.

Design a PCB based on Minigun or similar, with footprints for the trigger modules onboard.
... and that should be it? No need for big PSU.
Am I missing something, why doesn't this exist?
