No Jerry, I really felt sorry for the poor grunt that had to pack that contraption around, flopping back and forth as he slogged through the knee deep mud trying to move a heavy MG on sled rails.....
There was NO dream sensation when I fired it. It did seem quite accurate and very controllable but the torque created by the off sided heavy drum is quite distracting. Of course the original contract only called for a weapon that would provide "area fire" so I guess it would do that.

I loaded my type I up to 31 rounds just to see if I could do it but when I went out to fire the peace (think I used my 1914 Erfurt--not sure) I only loaded to 20+ as that seemed heavy enough.

I am glad you liked it but it is not my cup of tea.
