Ahh, the Machine gunners version of lego blocks: stand on one in bare feet and you'l know what I mean

I wouldn’t mind a dollar for every round I linked. It did make it easy to carry loops but they became heavy after a while.

Pretty sure that back in the early days of tranche 1 the cops actually came out and said the opposite, that the belts werent prohib mags... seems like somebody figured out what a beltfed 22lr is and got scared lol

It's not a magazine though by any definition you want to park on it. It's like saying a .50cal green ammo box that everyone has started using to lock their ammo and bolts in for travelling is a magazine because it contains the belt. We used to get .22LR 'mag loaders' (one brand was a 'shell shucker', can't remember the name of the other) that allowed you to quickly reload. By that definition they are a magazine's magazine! Same with 12guage speedloaders, the 5-round tubes that allow you to shove 5 12guage rounds into a tube mag. Next step is a tennis ball with a slit in it being an unregistered ammo storage device...

Keeping to the definition, a magazine is a firearm part, belt is not.

The main problem with this is the fact that disintegrating link belts are everywhere because they've been sold as 'inert-no license required' since forever. Does this restriction only apply to firearms licence holders? Because there are a LOT of people that are falling foul of something that hasn't been communicated and isn't an 'obvious' rule.

Ok all, hopefully this bit of information is good for future reference. As per email received in screenshot below. A machine gun belt is not a magazine. Which we all knew. It was just those responsible for regulating that had a brain fart.
