My cousin, and others that I have read, say that the mag feed is more of a gimmick than anything practical. It's never used outside of training because the gun is unreliable feeding from AR mags, mag can't feed rounds fast enough, and they often tear up the mags.Do any of the others besides the M249 have contingency feeding methods? I always thought it was very clever of the designers to allow the M249 to feed from a standard M-16/AR-15 magazine in addition to the normal belt feed. Seems like it's a very useful feature.
Yup, because the gun doesn't have to pull a belt when feeding from a mag, the cyclic rate increases significantly.I hadn't heard that there were issues with feeding from the mags. That's very interesting--thanks for the information.
Sounds like they need a third gas setting to slow the cyclic rate when using the mags.Yup, because the gun doesn't have to pull a belt when feeding from a mag, the cyclic rate increases significantly.
Cool, I always loved the Lewis gun.I would and hopefully will get one as my second NFA gun, 1st being the original Squad Automatic Weapon!
