if you've ever read Wetworks--the first 11 issues, all else is heresy--they basically use this concept for every weapon, ever. i've always thought it'd be pretty badass to use in SR.

Yay for spray and pray!
Without any pictures of it firing or ejecting a link, though, I'm leaning towards "standard M1911 with a belt stuck up the handle". This post has been edited by Austere Emancipator: Feb 16 2005, 10:36 AM |

While I do believe that all those pictures are just fake, a conversion kit turning M16-style rifles into belt-fed MGs actually exists! And it's even by Ares!!

One more vote for the "fake" side here... It takes a lot more mechanically to feed a belt than you could feasibly fit inside a 1911 - never mind a mechanism robust enought to pull a belt hanging veritcally without jamming.
Although the pics are sort of neat. |

I agree, but I did note that the belts all seem relatively short- I'm guessing to keep the weight down. With the right recoil spring the 1911 might work, but my guess is you'd have misfires left and right, since your slide return would be even faster and the ammo feed slower... |

What would happen to the belt links? Wouldn't it be a major modification to the 1911 to accomodate their ejection?

Just what I was thinking. A pistol's action is way to fast to accomodate it chambering a round and ejecting the links. I think I smell a fake here, but still looks tres cool.

I like the pic of the fat cop with his finger inside the trigger guard. Thats like the first thing they teach you not to do (who's they? I don't know... thats the second thing they teach you...)
:D Anyway, now that you mention it, the links would seem to be a problem. Its hard to tell how the links are made from the photos, but I can't think of any way the breach would close with those things attached to the brass... |

My gun bunny friend/player just pointed out that the ammo belt on the M-16 / AR-15 is going IN THE EJECTION PORT.... :eek:
I personally am ashamed that noone on DS caught this, and feel down right stupid myself... :silly: |

I realize this has nothing to do with SR, admins please be gentle. This thread will die out soon anyway unless someone redirects it to something interesting and pertinent, so no need to lock it.
None of the large dictionaries I can access recognize the word "shottist" -- this includes Merriam-Webster and other Webster-style dictionaries. A thorough corpus examination (ie. I Google'd it) revealed that the word is not actually used anywhere except by Jeff Cooper, the Shottist.Com site, and people referring to these two. The one and only dictionary/encyclopedia type site that recognizes the word is the MSN Encarta, which states that 'shottist' originated in South Africa in the mid-20th century as "a blend of 'shootist' and 'shot'" and describes someone who is "a good shot with a gun, often a participant in shooting contests". |

Fuchi was a great buy until the Big D died. Or rather, until his will was read.
