Well yeah.
Peace through superior firepower. Does it come in something other than .223??? Maybe some of the more experienced gunners can give me some insight: Is the .223 a capable enough round with the carbine-length barrel? Intuition tells me there is more energy needed to be effective, even when belt-fed and full-auto.
Great video.

Don’t forget, muzzle control is the issue. What good is a larger, heavier cartridge if the
only thing you’re going to hit is a cloud?

Yeah they are around. I once saw one of these belt feed M-16s in the armor at Fort McClellan. But never seen one in action. Pretty cool but would rather have a M249 SAW.

Nice vid, but I noticed that they failed to exhibit the classic Say Uncle stance! Heh

Maybe it was the lack of sights, the smoking forend, or the question of who can freakin’ afford a full-auto now-a-days…but I was strangely not impressed.

I don’t know why but something is missing from this thing.

Caliber. That’s what’s missing.
Ken is right about shooting at clouds, but remember the .30 carbine? I am jsut not sold on the .223 but maybe I’m all wet.
