!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Oh, prices are going down. Can it really just use any 7.62x51?

In bulk maybe. But my .308 rounds are generally ~$30 for 20 depending on certain factors.

That's crazy cheap since the last time I bought bullets. Maybe I need to jump on this.

No idea. It would make sense though. It would be strange to use a standard NATO round specification but require special versions of that round. There's nothing about how it works that suggests it should need special bullets. The rotating barrel and firing mechanism are different, but otherwise it's just a machine gun.
