Scratch the simfire option, too complex and too complicated. Plus I cant find a system with the right rate of fire anyway. Currently working on a way to rig up a fire sound effect to my PA system.
Motor is on it's way, this thing will be powered right off the truck by a 350 watt 24v dc electric...
Project should see some momentum this week, I've elected to go with 5" exhaust pipe for the body and I have sourced the drive motor as well. Next big hurtle is getting a length of 7.62 ammo feed chute ahead of building the feeder/delinker.
So I am seriously considering making this a gas sim fire replica. So far I have not been able to find a practical way of making a sim kit with the correct rate of fire, 1000 rounds per minute is as close as I can get.
Coated! Barrel assembly done. This will probably be my last post for a while as I am entering the design phase of the body, drive and mount. It will also take a while to source the material.

Today's fun was pulling Adam's M813 out of a rough spot before the next snow storm. Broken front axle components suspected, the M916 barely noticed it was there. Videos don't come close to accurately portraying how steep it was, or how icy and rutted.
Great teamwork today...
