What is the most cyberpunk looking belt-fed? Preferably in serial production.

I don't know if that is a thing.
I want to say a PKM covered in decorative shit
MG-3
>>34043668
I wonder if michael's machines would mockup one of these.
>>34043634
Something short, compact and portable, able to blanket whole areas with suppressive fire.
Like the XM556 Microgun. Maybe this thing has the potential to became the first actual hand held gattling gun.

About 50 years too late.
The XM214 was dropped long before that thing was conceived.
>>34043851
And no, the parts are not just scaled down from of the larger M134.
They were designed on their own. An absolutely all new style of bolt was conceived and designed to eliminate current known issues with the M134. The bolts combined with many other improvements have been made to not only extend the life of the gun but reduce wear and reduce or eliminate stoppages.
The current XM556 Microgun is smaller and lighter than some current 5.56mm beltfed Squad Automatic Weapons currently on the market, with 4x’s the firepower.

The XM214 weighs almost twice as much.
At just 16lbs the XM556 Microgun is lighter than the ubiquitous M249 (17lbs).
So, there might actually be a niche to fill.

This thing would chew through ammo in seconds and the ungodly recoil would knock the machinegunner on his ass just as fast. Not to mention that the only way to aim this thing is walking fire, making it good for only short-range. engagement.
>>34043912
Nope. Watch how the developer holds it just with his hands:

A butstock would surely work well with it.
>>34043937
Alright, maybe the recoil ain't all bad, but you'd have to cut down the fire rate, because 100 rounds in two seconds is borderline wasteful. Not sure if Baby-BRRRRT would work with a buttstock... There was a gun like that in Deus Ex Human Revolution and it looked clunky as fuck.

Why would you want to reduce the rate of fire on a weapon that was specifically designed to maximize the rate of fire?
This thing was not concieved to replace LMGs or SMGs.
All it has to be is practical and such it could create a whole new niche for itself.
I say strap it to one of those in pic related!
>>34044417
50 rounds per second turns a continuous spray between targets into a viable option if you've got the ammo.
>>34044518
Should have several modes, then. Three-five rounds burst, ten-fifteen burst and fifty-hundred-full retard modes. Something like that.
>>34044498
Armed construction rigs are the future of warfare. No joke.
>>34043634
>>34043892
Wouldn't the lighter weight be offset by the need for a powerpack? Never mind you're gonna blow the average SAW gunner and armorer's mind with maintenance.
Pic not all that related.
