Belt Fed Shotgun

[osamaslice]

I was thinking about it, so I know others have thought about it. Anyone know of a belt fed shotgun? I'd be intrigued to see pictures, if such a thing exists.

Modify a UGB-25, perhaps?

It's not what they had in mind but what the hey?

I thought there was at least one company currently making one, a friend told me he saw it at a gunshow and they are taking it to the shot show next.

I remember seeing a DIY manual years ago for converting a remington 1100 to beltfed, step-by-step for everything, belt, cutting the receiver, modifing the bolt. Wish I would have gotten it.

I'm not sure if they are what your talking about....but
I have the plans from Ryan Kephart/Kephart Publications out of the Shotgun News.

The conversion only modified the magazine tube.

I only kept them as an example of a really amateurish attempt at publication.

Stating they were bad is a gross understatement.

I called to order and got his wife or mom on the phone.
She had a crappy attitude, in retrospect probably due to the volume of complaint calls.

What I finally got looked like they had been drawn up by a 5 year old and copied on an old xerox with purple ink.

The drawings that were present were done with a ruler or freehand. Not only were they not to scale, but they often were so poorly drawn I couldn't tell what the part was.

The text was done on an old typewriter and often the typeset was off and white out was clearly used in places.
Making the already convoluted text virtually unreadable.

They were hard to understand and definately not worth the $15.00

The other plans I bought at the time were equally crappy.
Often using such sophomoric goodies as wax, flash powder, and BBs.

Not a quality product.
I'm really glad the guy went out of business.

Great, why not a smooth bore gatling gun TOO!

might be some fun but what would be the practicality of it? I think it would be little more than a novelity.

And it would be good for, what?

Shotguns are poor at barrier penetration or long range fire in combat.

By the time you let the enemy in that close, they are well within RPG & hand grenade range.

Anyway, anything a belt fed shotgun could do, a SAW or light MG could do way much better.

And the ammo wouldn't require it's own truck to haul it around.

Its a toy.

 

[Blakenzy]

Do I have to state the obvious??

It would be GREAT for repelling waves of zombie hordes.

Here he claims the British Government took interest.
If they bought anything from this joker I'll eat my hat.

Purple ink? Didja say purple ink?

May not have been an old Xerox - might have been a mimeograph / stencil machine. These predated copiers and some could actually work without electricity. Great for those times you have to put out handbills from a cave.

Dang, now I feel old.

Never understood the attraction for the purple ink - probably a nickel cheaper than the alternative so my school was all over it. Stunk to high heaven, too.

Hmm.
Perhaps the smeary, sticky, purple ink was actually the norm:

Thanks for the time warp.

 

[Bad Penny 03]

Ha
Yep...thats the stuff...

I remember using those things in grade school.

Google the MK-19 Mod. 3

This is the industrial strength granade-launching machine gun zombie killer. You can select from about 8 types of ammo from high explosive to armor piercing to anti-personnel. Instant hell at the pull of the trigger!!

"Features: The MK19 40mm machine gun, MOD 3 is an air-cooled, disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, blowback operated, fully automatic weapon and is crew transportable over short distances with limited amounts of ammunition. It can fire a variety of 40mm grenades. The M430 HEDP 40mm grenade will pierce armor up to 2 inches thick, and will produce fragments to kill personnel within 5 meters and wound personnel within 15 meters of the point of impact. Associated components are: MK64 Cradle Mount, MOD 5; M3 Tripod Mount; and the AN/TVS-5 Night Vision Sight. The MK19 also mounts in the up-gunned weapons station of the LVTP7A1 model of the AAV and vehicle ring mounts"

Yeah, but it doesn't fire shot...?

The MK19 doesn't fire the 40x46mm M576 buckshot loads.

The 40x53mm isn't a close range type deal.
