Lego LMG 5.0 - Proof of Concept/Prototype - Full Auto Mag powered - Shell Ejecting

-I have new Lego Sorting System = efficient building
-reliability so far: 100%!!!!
Only works with:
-2mm latex rubber tube (LoL)
-shell ejecting
-strip fed (belt fed)
-fully automatic
-brick shooting
-self contained mag = all the energy/power stored in mag
-sustained fire capability
-shoots through 2 layers of cardboard
-powerful
-blowback/reciprocating bolt
-prototype
-proof of concept
-work in progress

This is insane Ngl, reminds me the times I would have concepts like that on my desk and I would rush at sleep so I can wake up to continue working on them Im sure you get what I mean

[@guentherjuergen7304]

Thanks man, I mean coincidentally that's exactly what happened tbh XDD

[@SHRAPNEL_LEGO]

Look! Bro really made M1909 LMG

[@guentherjuergen7304]

Yeeees, right ^^ Hotchkiss machine gun, with strip magazine.
I could use it as the basis for the design, although the hotchkiss really looks weird haha

[@guentherjuergen7304]

Or M1914

[@JoranPrins]

This is cool! I always thought having a bullet move the bolt would slow down the bullet way too much!

[@guentherjuergen7304]

Exactly, I always thought it too. My first attempts were with a seperate shell for each round to power the cycling.
But with the rubber tubes (2mm diameter) it has the necessary power, with normal RB's it would be difficult I think 😅😅

Sweet dude!

Dude this is so cool!

Thanks!!!!

Interesting

[@guentherjuergen7304]

Yes lol

[@sdahsj3903]

Dude that is absolutely new level it’s so cool ❤

[@guentherjuergen7304]

Thx m8, what machine gun should I turn it into?

[@sdahsj3903]

You could make mg 42 or mg 34 machine guns with fully automatic fire, you could do the same as a crossbow, which you did before looked cool and unique

[@guentherjuergen7304]

@@sdahsj3903 good Idea I really, like the look of the mg 34. My old crossbow style mg was based on the hk21. Also the hotchkiss 1914 is really cool right 🤔

weird but very cool

A little bit ^^

[@Thegunnery]

Very interesting design, looks super cool and if u make a full gun like this that'll be sick. Also, using the same principle could u make it belt fed? Or does the mechanism not have enough strength to pull a belt

[@guentherjuergen7304]

TLDR:
Thanks! It will take some time, I'm working on it.
I also had a belt fed version in my mind and I think it is not strong enough. The strip-mag mechanism rn is very frictionless and easy to move. Of course it would depend on the length of the belt being pulled down by gravity.
And another challenge would be the spacing on the belt which should be as small as on the strip-mag but with movable joints (spacing rn is 2 studs).
But you could certainly make the current strip-mag longer. Rn it has 8 rounds cause I didn't have enough brick's for more^^ you could easily double that

[@guentherjuergen7304]

Now that I think about it, it might just actually be possible 😅🤔

[@Thegunnery]

@guentherjuergen7304 yeah, the spacing is definitely a problem, the shorter the distance u have to pull it the stronger the power of pulling.

[@guentherjuergen7304]

@@Thegunnery yes exactly, that's the problem. And with 3 studs a belt would be possible I think.

Tutorial?

[@guentherjuergen7304]

Maybe

[@sheep13128]

yooo

[@guentherjuergen7304]

yoho

[@user-do4cr3vz8y]

make a m249 or mg42 maybe?

[@user-do4cr3vz8y]

or maybe m1914 because those 2 use a belt

[@guentherjuergen7304]

@@user-do4cr3vz8y good ideas 👍👍 the 1914 is very similar yeah
