Appears to be a link from a belt fed. Probably just a look how awesome I am thing. In the pic of the guy with crutches that isn't a 7.62x39round. Could be a U.S. 7.62 or even an 8mm Mauser round. I agree. Purpose? Fuck if I know. Maybe they just think it's cool. |

I saw a lot of that in Afghanistan, have some pics somewhere I can dig up. I was told by one guy that they think that the barrel will get hot enough to cook the round off and fire a "super volley". The cool kids in the Argandab valley had two linked SAW rounds secured to the barrels of their AK's.

If you just did a massive mag dump at the infidel, and you needed to harakiri before the infidel captures you and makes you eat pork, wouldn't your reserve bullet be too hot to handle?
