Select all the objects on this new group and reduce the Width to 50%. Here's an easy way to do this. Make sure the cloned objects are aligned next to the barrel. Select the cloned objects and group them (Ctrl g). Make sure that the Lock Aspect Ratio icon (the tiny black padlock on the Infobar) is in the up position (disabled). Click the left center button on the Set Origin Position grid, enter 50 in the % text entry box, and press Enter.
