my 85yr old neighbor was a ballturret gunner on an 8th Air Force B17. He's got the usual recollections about bombing missions, but he came up recently with a story of gunnery training with a .22rimfire beltfed version of a 1919 30cal machinegun. From what I could get out of his tale the MG's were adapted for .22LRs' that were loaded into some kind of belt adapter. He said one of the 'chores' after a training session was to reload the adapters in the belts. Never heard of machinegun 'trainers' before... Anyone got any data on these?
