Slide fire + belt-fed = $6000

[M16]

point being, most cant shoot a FA and hit anything except with the first 2-3 rounds.

It depends on what FA. I can dump a 30 round magazine on target with my MP5.

here is a belt fed upper from PSA all you need is the lower with slide fire

I have three M16's. Some are suppressed and some aren't.

do you need any more friends?.....LOL

IMHO, Slidefire would do well to keep a lower profile. They have gotten the attention of the wrong people, and they are going after them in Congress. I don't want them to ruin bumpfiring for all the rest of us. Keep in mind that Obama just installed a rabidly anti-gun ***** as head of BATFE, and he is already trying to rewrite the NFA regs.

Mathematically impossible

Dang you. I want an MP5 in a bad way.... But I'm not gonna drop 15000-20000 on one :/.

Btw, a rubber band works just like the slide fire and is basically free.... Lol

yep and the finger in the belt loop trick does alright too. harder to hit anything but still fun.

Carbines and "assault rifles" are particularly ill-suited to be used as crew-served weapons, and if you have a belt, you've really got a crew-served weapon. The barrels are too light and not easily swapped out. You NEED spare barrels on a belt fed weapon unless you want your barrel to glow white hot, melt and have rounds blow through the top of the barrel. Even on a squad automatic, you should be able to change barrels (my one complaint about the BAR).

You might also cook off rounds from the chamber getting too hot. That's bad news! The AR fires from a closed bolt, whereas belt-fed MGs (and even most SMGs) as a rule fire from an open bolt to allow for cooling.

And if you're not firing enough rounds to require you to swap barrels, then you're not firing enough rounds to need a belt. Just change magazines. No belts to get full of mud and crud. Makes the weapon lighter, too, to not have a 7 pound belt hanging on there.

Just my personal opinion.

Sounds like this guy knows, I'm gonna concur!

Yeah but the CDI factor is high....Chicks Dig It
