Alright so, I've had a project in mind for a few years now, finally at a point in life where i can possibly begin work on it. I want to replicate a gun from the game/ book series Metro 2033, lovingly called the Bastard. In the game its a hand made "SMG" known for over heating and jamming, hence its name. Now SMG is a bit of a misname, since it fires 5.45x39 from an open bolt, but otherwise its abit like a really lousy sten. its got a top folding wire stock, and a short heavy barrel with a water jacket. where it gets weird though is its feeding mechanism. it doesnt use traditional detachable magazines, instead it uses a 20 round, double stacked box "clip" (ie no spring or feed lips) that it feeds through the gun from left to right. now the animation for it firing shows the clip housing (for lack of a better term) moving up and down as the gun fires, and this is the bit thats got me baffled. iv thought about just redesigning it to just feed from side mounted 74 magazines, which honestly makes more sense for post nuclear war moscow, but if it can be set up to work, id like to keep it as true to the original as possible. it will also need to be made closed bolt and semi-auto to be legal. this is just a project for fun, if you guys feel like flexing your creative muscles, id greatly appreciate input.
