44. Legal and completely useless

Fri Jan 4, 2013, 06:16 PM

Jan 2013

Heavy, unreliable, and most importantly ripping off 100 rounds at a rapid pace through any gun is going to eliminate any accuracy at all as well as degrading if not severely damaging the barrel, all from the heat buildup...there's a reason "true" machine guns have quick-change barrels. Yes, I could fit my rifle with one given a dremel and two minutes' work, but 100 loaded rounds of 308 weigh...lots, and I don't want to burn out a precision German target barrel any sooner than need be.

edit - the ATF isn't going to "deal with" this guy, he's not doing anything illegal whatsoever. Alerting CL is fine, since it's a violation of their TOS, but please don't waste the ATF's resources with frivolous, unnecessary claims.
