100 rounds of .308 in 13 seconds....Crankfire on the 1919

[adamsredlines]

If I'm correct this maths out to 461 rounds a minute. This was a 100 round "mag dump" if you will.

Am I correct to assume that is a semi-auto 1919? (Sorry for the dumb question, but I had always assumed your 1919 was a true machine gun....). Neat stuff, nonetheless. It does look like great fun!

 

[adamsredlines]

Correct, its a semi auto. I wish I could afford a "real" one.

 

[dennishoddy]

That had to be fun!

It's amazing to me how steady it is.
We did about 250 rounds this morning. First 20 shots with trigger to ensure this hadn't changed normal functionality....then slowly with the crank....then fast and let a friend give it a whirl....then had this 100 round chain so got the video.

Next time I will set up a target to show its "group" using the crank. It's not a sniper rifle but I think most would be surprised.

 

[dennishoddy]

I noticed how steady it was as well. I'll bet you shot the center out of a target.

The tightwad in me just kept wondering how much each turn of the crank cost...

 

[adamsredlines]

Each turn is 3 shots....so depends what you're shooting.
Current brass 308 prices are about .60/rd.

That day was the most 308 I have shot in one outing. Did two belts, 220 rounds total.

 

[Hawgman]

Cool. Sounds like a Gatling gun.

Remind me, did you put this together or buy it complete from some where? if so what company makes it?
