apparently

While belt-fed machine guns and even their semi-auto counterparts are banned in the UK, this ammunition feeding system itself is not

this rifle is merely a manual repeater

Here in the UK, we can’t have semi-auto firearms BUT – we can load our guns with as much ammo as we can (no magazine restrictions!)

Gun nerds find a way

Designing the belt feed mechanism is pretty awesome. A bullpup conversion is dime a dozen, but feeding the gun an entirely unintended way is rad.

This is frankly amazing. It needs to be fit into Fallout London, just because of how amazing it is.
