America The Beautiful...

Going through some pictures of the bloggershoot last night, I came across one that made me smile:

Very small belt

It made me smile because it goes to this:

Happiness is a belt-fed weapon

Yes, that really is what it looks like. It's a Lakeside Machine LLC belt-fed .22LR upper (sorry, I don't remember the lower) that comes to us courtesy of Paul from SL Guns. Before the bloggershoot, we stopped into SL to say hi and for some folks to pick up some last minute ammo, and Paul happened to be in the shop. I made my way over and said hi, and he had a grin on his face that would have put the Cheshire cat to shame.

He explained to me that after last year, with the goodies brought by Wally and SWR Manufacturing, that he was afraid that plain ol' subguns would lose their allure. Go for the gusto, he said; so he went out and found something truly unique - the belt-fed .22LR machine gun. He brought over 800 rounds of belted .22LR ammo - and it lasted *maybe* 30 minutes... If Miriam-Webster ever decides to put a picture under "fun" in the dictionary, this gun will be it...

Thanks for sharing her with us Paul!

That is all.

Note to the Zombie Hunters of America: Excellent Kit! I'd use it for Perimeter Defense and go short Bursts. Much more effective than a 12 Gauge!

If the '86 ban is every overturned, I want a Lakeside .22 rimfire scale-model 1919-A4. That's a belt-fed I could actually afford to feed!

Got a friend who has one. The only down side is loading the belt(s). There IS a 500 rounder occasionally for sale by the builder. I keep threatening to buy one for my friend...
