So yes I may agree Bed, i just wish mine was more dependable at certain times.   db- - - Updated - - -Not sure of the weight of my 200 plus 30-06 shells but i would hate to lug around in the jungle.  And then it would take me three times longer to shoot the same amount of shells with my 8 round clip so maybe less shells, bullet hole might be bigger, and hell today i doubt if i would make it pass the second clip anyways.  If noise helps out it seems those BAR sure made a lot more noise. db</blockquote>
