I think someone is pulling your leg Toby.
That or he's the one trying to pull ours'
I think you are pulling our legs Toby. I have seen a lot of things in my life but unless the links on that belt are of the instantly disolving kind I would imagine that the rifle designer overlooked the fact that you will get frequent jamming on every round.
The old soldiers on here would likely also pick up that the cartidges should be feeding from the left and (even if this was a real situation) the belt is upside down for a right hand ejection.
I have never seen a belt fed gun IRL and have no idea how it works so I assumed this website was real.
A Belt fed 1911
Don't believe everything that you come across on the internet. That goes for most of the stuff I write as well.
All of that is BS. All you need to think about is where the links would go to realise it is full of it. And like Rushy said, the links should be on the bottom.
Haha oh well. Maybe its time some invented it.
There are all sorts of belt fed guns , usually open bolt LMG , and they use non-distingrating or distingrating metal links , they usually have the links up & feed from the L or R , about the only gun I know that feeds with the links down are the HK21s
would be great for a hunting rifle...........
all the sticks and leaves getting caught in it like a mullet net
it would need a lifter inside it, then somewhere for the belt to go when the the bullet is chambered
to embark on an effort to try make a belt fed bolt gun would be absolutely stupid
No one said you would hunt with it. but it would be cool to just see.
Very helpful for those rabbits down south. Either this, or a gatling gun !
you mean like this: 10/22 Gatling Gun Kit - 862723, Replacement Parts at Sportsman's GuideQuote:

You're a smart guy, you'd have one look at it and figure out how it works and in turn look at the 'bolt action belt fed' thingy and see exactly how it doesn't work. ;)
Yeh Dougie they hammer it in to you because it is so bloody dangerous. Had a buddy lose half his face from a "cook off" in 73 (might have been 74). Opened the breech of a GPMG before letting it cool down and the round exploded.
That would ruin your day.
Yes not fun at all. The whole 2/1 battalion couldn't believe it because as you said, the training was to a very high standard.
