Is it legal to own semi automatic versions of LMGs with the same

>>34931369
Yes, in most states

>>34931369

depends on which part of the USA.

>>34931369
You can a Machine Gun that was made before 1986 if you are rich enough.

>>34931369
Yes but they are open bolt designs switched to close bolt which basically means it's a novelty.

>>34931369
Yes, if you're in a non-cucked state.

>>34931386
What were you trying to communicate with this post?

>Is it legal to own semi automatic versions of LMGs with the same ammo capacity in the USA?
Pretty much yes, anywhere where "normal" guns are legal.
Most states would even let you hunt deer with an LMG with 200rd belt. No real ammo capacity restrictions, not that you'd ever want to lug that heavy thing plus half a 54r spam can of weight around. Even an rpk would be a pain in the ass to lug around for very long.

I want three full retard PKMs; one for home, one for summer place & third, PKT -model for my Soviet APC.

He posted a belt fed machine gun. Do you not see any humor in the fact that he asked about ammo capacity for belt fed weapons?

>>34931369
Can you own any other semi auto firearm with a 100+ round drum? If so, then yes.

>>34931809
If you can have 30rd assault clips, you can use a mag/belt of infinite length.

>>34931773
Not all LMGs are belt fed, some use mags

>thread full of people who don't know what "open bolt" means

No, you can't, without finding one that was registered before 86 and going through the whole NFA thing

>>34931822
>30rd assault clips,
This has to be bait.

anon, that's a GPMG

>>34932107
the "General Purpose" means it's available on multiple mounts for a multitude of roles (including bipod, tripod and various vehicle mounts), the first GPMG, MG34, was considered LMG when fired from bipod & fed from drum magazine & a "heavy" MG when on a tripod & fed from belts, PKM is also available on bipod, tripod and vehicle mounts, the picture is of a PKM on a bipod making it one filling the role of an LMG.

The joke

Your head

A (BELT) fed weapon. You know, belts can have varying lengths?

>>34932158
>full sized rifle caliber
>must be fired from bipod or tripod
>two man team minimum
it's a GPMG.

@34932212
baka

>>34932231
>full sized rifle caliber
practically all of light machineguns fired full sized rifle cartridge until intermediary cartridges became a thing
>must be fired from bipod or tripod
says who? German field manuals for MG34 taught how to hipfire the thing during advance
>two man team minimum
as is/was LMG

again the "General Purpose" in the name is an adjective that describes how ithe weapon isn't limited to just one role, one of the roles a GPMG fills is that of an LMG/Squad automatic weapon.

>>34932291
>>must be fired from bipod or tripod
>says who? German field manuals for MG34 taught how to hipfire the thing during advance
Finnish Army also actively trains machinegunners how to properly hipfire PKM, in other words at least two militaries train/have provided formal training to machinegunners on how to properly hipfire GPMGs, meaning at least two militaries think hipfiring GPMGs is practical enough.

Oh, wait, only the American way of doing things matters because American way is always the only one that works because reasons...

Not very good.

I get what you're saying, but I think you're letting your autism control your mouth.

>>34931405
Even cucked states have them with some modification. Typically a grip wrap and 10 round belts (which people never link together because its illegwal). They've actually been legal for a long time.

My LGS has one

>>34932212
Yea but you have to cut the belts yourself tho

>>34932349
Us troops hip fired the 1919 browning all the time in WW2.

Doctrine is more about good practices and less about practical applications.

>>34931369
Yea but they have to be closed bolt.
