Winkowski and his two partners are pleased to see their invention helping other soldiers, but more importantly he says it’s good to see the impact the system has on the enemy. “And I think it’s gonna make a huge impact on their mindset when they are engaging U.S. forces with these system and they are coming up against basically a wall of lead because the tremendous firepower these systems can now give machine gunners,” he said.

The carrier system allows a machine gunner to fire up to 500 rounds of linked ammunition.

A story to warm the hearts of gun enthusiasts everywhere.

Looks like a fun rig for some weekend shooting. $;-)

The big pic has me scratching my head a bit -- the MG the soldier is carrying looks like a SAW, but the rounds in the feed belt appear to be .308. Are M240s being issued with SAW-type forends?

7.62 would make more sense in another way: The belt-chute for that caliber could readily be scavenged from minigun systems; I don't know of any such assembly for the smaller .5.56 round.
