How about this: A machine gun that fires musket balls from a

It's not a solution if it creates more problems than it solves

How would the musket balls feed? So this is basically a lmg with shotgun slugs... ok I guess that's a huge amount of slugs u need to carry

Pneumatically powered, hopper fed? Turreted with its generator and air systems?

Couldn't you just put the balls into a traditional cartridge?

>>31988994
I don't know what that means.

>>31988966
black power is just to damn dirty to use in a semi auto let alone full auto gun

Basically you want to fire musket balls through a paintball gun.

Why would you need black powder? Couldn't you stick a ball with a diamter of 51 etc. into a 7,62 × 51 brass.

So you want a Caselman?

Sounds illegal, so no.

You know we went with spitzer bullets for a reason

It's a solution looking for a problem

>>31988966

why does it need to be balls?

just use normal ammo and make the barrel less tight


also I don't know how often barrels are changed anymore

>>31989304
It depends on rate of fire more than just rounds fired.

are you people fucking retarded or you just never touched a goddamn gun in your lives?

You just can't appreciate people thinking out of the box. Have fun being stuck to your internal prison, slave.

It's literally part of the evolution of ballistics we don't use musket balls anymore.

Why do you think they literally marched 100 yards away before they'd shoot at each other?

>>31988966
What about making barrel from Inconel?

>>31988966
barrel heat doesn't come from the friction, it comes form the explosion. And you just made it worse by presumably removing the cartridge which normally takes away a good chunk of the heat.

>>31988966
So you want a noisemaker that farts lead marbles and weighs a ton? Good, more for infantry to bitch about, submitting this to the DoD.
