Yeah yeah I have been starting alot of threads lately. But anyway

Lets talk support weapons, I know when you think support you think fully automatic and a hell of alot of ammo Well I thought well, Theres a gat trigger system now if I could just find a belt fed .22lr that it would work on. So that being said you can shoot alot of rounds on the cheap and it would be a blast at the range and helpful in teotwawki. So now leading to my question. Are there any semi automatic belt fed .22s? maybe even a full auto thats cheap?
Just something to think about and its cheap and easy to stockpile .22lr


Now for my next thought, how about artillery? Now im talking very crude stuff and no I don't advise anyone to make this but if need be in teotwawki...
Anyway, couldn't someone make a cannon and put a bunch of rocks or steel shards/balls and use that as a way to put your enemy behind cover and give you time to move up?

I've never seen a belt-fed .22, and such a thing wouod be of limited use anyway. Do you have any idea how expensive fully automatic (class 3) weapons are? Are you planning on fighting a war? Who is this enemy you're going to be engaging in open combat with and aiming this artillery at? Perhaps you should read a little more before you post, similar to listening before you speak.

P.S. I would love to have a fully-automatic .22 rifle. That sounds like crazy fun.

An easy thing to do is order a 10/22 gatling gun conversion kit.

They are very cool. And in a time WROL, if a power drill accidently fell into the crank it would give you a full auto 22lr for less than $1000, brand new. I just do not recommend converting anything into FA without proper licensing, until some major S has HTF. But it would definitely be fun at the range and even though it is a 22lr, i wouldn't stay in its field of fire.

Pumpkin Chunkin made easy?

seems I also remember that if a Whale were to ejaculate out of the water it would be a 55 GALLON 500 YARD shot now maybe the whale wars people can train them to roll onto there backs and kerrrrrsplat.........think less lethal than pumpkin but a volley of whale sperm might deter your foe......

I think even with crude arty it would not be overly effective in an indirect fire role, unless you had people working as F.Os to direct the placement of the rounds. Without F.Os or fixed targets your arty would be shooting blind in an indirect fire roll.
