Belt-fed shotguns...Legal?

Odd. howmarketingworkstogethitsonmysiteswhichletsmeselladvertising.com actually got something right. Makes me wonder where they stole the diagrams.

For a sample of their more usual garbage, see this one on silencers:

3000 PSI!!!! :D


Friends don't let friends use that site for anything other than an example of how marketing trumps substance.
 
DON'T !!!!

LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO MURDER A POOR 1100!!!!!:)

And anyway, you'd probably have to do some "interesting" stuff with the bolt to get it to work with an ammo belt, in addition to other things. I'm also wondering how would the rimmed cartridge work in a belt??? Certainly cloth wouldn't work.

Unless it's full auto, i'm not convinced that beltfed gets you any advantage, and would probably prove a disadvantage.


If you want it for "cool factor" again, i doubt the logistics of doing something like that would be easy, unless you are a firearms engineer or really good machinist.

Best you're gonna get is something like usas 12 (imagina a saiga with a drum mag) , which i believe is currently a title II firearm.
 
Can you imagine the recoil of an 1100 FA?

Tippman, before the 1986 FOPA(?), made .22LR scale replicas that were fully functional. Rimmed ammo, fired from a cloth belt. I want one.

You could just get one of those, and load it with shot cartridges. At very short range you'd get an idea of what a 12 would be like.
 
after readig this post

my shooting buddy and I mulled it over, and discussed it at length (Yeah we like strange adventures in gunsmithing, too! :rolleyes:) We were even at a gunshop (not specifically for this purpose) and were looking over the mechansims of various autoloading shotguns.... Is short, any way we sliced it, you probably would have to make a completely new receiver, and add a variety of parts...almost build complete gun from scratch.....

HOWEVER, what if you took the SG and turned it "upside down", and used some type of gravity fed hopper arrangment? (remembering that this was how the original gatling guns were fed). Seems like you wouldn't need to modify much of anything as far as feed mechanism. As mentioned, due to weight and recoil considerations, I don't think these would be real portable, anyway, so you could easily come up with some type of stock/mounting arrangement.

Just some wild ramblings :D
 
remmington 1100

strait jacket here again. I only suggested convverting an rem 1100 because I saw a book from www.deltapress.com titeled the remmington 1100 exotic weapons system. which is about converting it to selective fire and also has plans for a compensater to reduce recoil.so does anybody know of any ebooks or plans about belt fed shotguns.someone said there used to be an ad in shotgun news selling plans of all sorts of destructive devices including belt fed shotguns :cool: .but i have never seen it.anyone know what im talking about.
