Sure won't be thousands of rounds a minute but hey...

Could you imagine the sound of the chain clcying through?....

And those casings hitting the deck? Clunk Clunk Clunk ......

It would bring new meaning to Mr. Redleg's title "The fire is everything" ...lol

Even if I can't build it in my backyard, makes for a great A-Team episode.
