Cool! That's definitely one rare and unusual looking (not to mention somewhat awkward to use), sub-machine gun! Thanks for sharing.
 
Am I missing something or does it sound like it can fire all 70 rnds continuously?

Given the technology of the day I don't doubt that a counter like something from a coin operated machine could be made to work, but how did the turret rotate?

Also were the 1918 Ordnance guys idiots? I can't see how two bullets could 'weld' themselves together in flight from firing too quickly.

Overall awesome!!!!

She didn't say they were welded together in flight.

She said when the bullets were recovered from the backstop they were welded together.

That speaks more for the weight controlling recoil to the point two shots hit in the same place down range.

I've seen the same things many times on recovering bullets from a berm behind a target.

Would have thought with all that work on the turret he would have just designed another magazine.
