Huge changes.
Cheaper, reliable and weigh less.
Clear now. Black is for the final phase.
Disintegrating links are extremely hard to keep hold of and of course to sort out. And of course they get bent used as well as rust...
And eventually wear out however this injection molded disintegrating link system is actually really amazing especially with the weight reductions.
I can only imagine how many variations and how much they had to fight with this entire project to get it going however this is definitely the perfect time for this to come out.
Well this is absolutely legendary on creativity and as well manufacturing.
A lot of testing would have to be undertaken to ensure operational readiness under a variety of circumstances.
And as well cost of manufacturing these items would be exponentially less.
Having these parts injection molded out of plastic is a phenomenal idea.
I just can't keep crawling enough about weight reduction savings that would be phenomenal.
Over two thirds less than traditional metal links that amount of ammunition definitely starts to add up. Unless you are vehicle born it is really difficult to carry a lot of the 762x 54 Soviet. And don't forget these are produced with steel cases along with the lead bullet it definitely starts to add up.
I'm not exactly sure how much a PKM machine gun weighs however this definitely is quite a bit of additional weight with a belt fed magazine.
