After a quick skim of our dangerous weapons control laws I was unable to find anything in regards to belt feeding devices when it comes to considering them a magazine or a high capacity feeding device.  Any idea why or did I just miss something here?

Belts are a high capacity feeding device and are regulated under 18 USC section 922(w).  The way I read the law a rifle that is only belt fed is not a semiautomatic assault rifle because it will not accept a detachable magazine therefore it does not fall under 18 USC section 922(v).

Yes it looks that way…

One interesting thing though, if you rigged a belt feeding device to a post-ban and removed it’s a abilities to accept a detachable magazine then I think you could build that rifle in a pre-ban configuration and still have a decent amount of ammo to play with [:)]

Link 10 live, then 1 dummy, then 10 live and so on, thus there is a so called "reload" involved.

This sounded like fun, so I had to post something.
