I like that it can have a 200 round belt. I dont like that it's over $7k.
I am looking at this and a 50 cal that is around $4k.
What I really want is a 50 that has a belt. But thats like $30k.
What should I do?
absolutely not.
- 5.56x45 is a shit caliber that is designed to hunt squirrels, gerbils, rabbits, and other small furry animals.
- when i was in the military the cost to my command was about $5,000 and based on the shit-tier manufacturing and machining i would estimate the cost to mass produce is no more than $2,000 per unit...with the barrel probably costing $1,990. (barrel comment sarcasm)
- the machine gun is designed to fire using a certain method of operation. the semi-auto civilian version has a nigger-rigged modification to make it fire differently, in semi-auto-only, which fucks its utility and reliability. this is the short explanation. if anyone wants to do further reading its open-bolt vs closed-bolt.
